Materials:

Wool (type not specified)

Pattern

Back Panel:

Start by making a slip knot and create a chain. Make the chain a bit longer than the desired length of your cardigan.
For a chain of 45: This should go from your hip to your neck, allowing it to fall slightly.
Measure the chain; it should be about 58 cm in length.

Count 10 stitches from the end – this will be the length of your collar.
Chain two, yarn over and go into the last stitch, omitting the two you just made.
Work half double crochets until you reach your stitch marker.
Once at the stitch marker, change to slip stitches for the next 10 stitches, or as long as you want the collar piece to be.
Chain one, turn your work, and continue with slip stitches into the back loops only, for the collar piece length.
After the slip stitch row, switch to half double crochets into the back loop, creating a rib design.
Repeat the pattern of back loop half double crochets and back loop slip stitches to achieve the ribbed texture.

Continue until the back panel is of adequate length, ensuring it goes from shoulder to shoulder when placed on your back.

Front Panels:

Start with the same number of chains as the back panel.
Follow the exact pattern as the back panel, but only work it to half the length.
For a V-neck, stop the pattern where you want the V-neck to begin.
Chain a number of stitches corresponding to the stitches left to reach the original chain length.
Work the pattern on the front panel, same as the back panel, until you reach the desired length.
Continue the established pattern but include the additional chain from the V-neck when working back across.

Sleeves:

Make a chain a bit longer than your arm length to account for a fold over cuff.

The sleeve pattern is simple: just panels of back loop half double crochets.
After you have reached the desired width, join the long sides with slip stitches to form the sleeve tube.
Measure from the shoulder to your fingertips for the correct length, allowing for the fold.

Assembly:

Match the front and back panels and slip stitch them together at the shoulders, ensuring enough space remains for the sleeves.
Attach sleeves to the body by matching stitches and slip stitch all around.
For the V-neck, match up the edges and slip stitch them together all the way to the shoulder.
