If you’re looking for a timeless crochet cable cardigan pattern, this Heirloom Cardigan is one of those pieces you’ll make once and wear forever. With its beautiful cable texture and classic, cozy fit, this design is part of the Heirloom Collection with Lion Brand Yarn. In this post, I’ll walk you through everything you need to make your own, from the full free pattern to helpful step-by-step guidance along the way.
The Heirloom Cardigan is one of those pieces that feels special from the moment you start making it. With its rich cable texture and classic, oversized fit, it has that timeless look that never really goes out of style. It’s cozy, structured, and just detailed enough to feel elevated without being overwhelming.
This pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters or adventurous beginners who are ready to try something new. If you’ve never crocheted cables before, don’t worry — once you get the hang of the stitch repeat, it becomes super rhythmic and honestly so satisfying to work on.
One of my favourite things about this cardigan is how versatile it is. You can dress it up, throw it over a simple outfit, or just wear it at home on a cozy day — it’s truly one of those throw-on-and-feel-put-together pieces.
Because this design is part of the Heirloom Collection, the idea behind it is simple: create something you’ll keep for years. Not just a project you finish and move on from, but a piece you wear over and over again, that holds memories, and maybe even becomes something you pass down one day

Who This Pattern Is For
This pattern is a great fit if you:
- are an intermediate crocheter, or a confident beginner ready to try something new
- want to learn or practice crochet cables in a wearable project
- enjoy projects that are repetitive and relaxing once you get into the rhythm
- love making timeless, cozy pieces you can wear for years
- prefer oversized, comfortable fits that are easy to style
You might find this pattern a bit challenging if you:
- are brand new to crochet and haven’t worked with post stitches or textured patterns yet
- prefer very quick projects — this one is more of a slow, enjoyable make
That being said, if you’re willing to take your time and follow along step by step, this cardigan is such a rewarding project to finish ♡
The Construction of this Cardigan
This cardigan is worked in separate pieces and then assembled, making it easy to follow and customize as you go.
You’ll begin by crocheting the back panel and front panels separately, starting with the ribbing and then working the body flat using the cable stitch pattern. The texture is created through a simple repeat, so once you get the hang of it, it becomes very rhythmic and relaxing to work on.
The sleeves are also worked flat, starting from the cuff and working your way up. You’ll increase gradually to shape the sleeve, then continue working straight until your desired length is reached.
Once all pieces are complete, the cardigan is assembled using a simple seaming technique. The sleeves are attached to the body, and the sides are joined to bring everything together.
To finish, the collar is worked directly onto the cardigan, crocheting along the front panels and neckline as you go. This gives the cardigan its clean, structured finish and pulls the whole piece together beautifully.
Sizes Included
This pattern includes a full range of sizes from XS to 5XL, designed to fit a variety of body types with a comfortable, slightly oversized fit.
Sizes are written as:
XS (S, M) L (XL, 2XL) 3XL (4XL, 5XL)
The cardigan is designed with positive ease, meaning it will fit loosely and comfortably over your body. If you prefer a more fitted look, you can choose to size down.
Each size has been carefully graded to maintain the same cable placement and overall look across all sizes, so your cardigan will have that same timeless feel no matter which size you make.
For the best fit, I recommend comparing your measurements to the finished garment measurements provided below before choosing your size.
About the Heirloom Collection
The Heirloom Collection is all about creating pieces that are meant to last. Not just in the sense of quality, but in the way they feel, the way they’re worn, and the memories attached to them over time.
These designs are inspired by that idea of timelessness — simple, classic silhouettes with beautiful texture that never really go out of style. Pieces you can make today and still reach for years from now, whether it’s layered over a cozy outfit at home or worn out and styled in your own way.
Crochet has been a part of my life for a long time. I first picked up a hook when I was 20, not knowing it would completely change the direction of my life. What started as a creative outlet slowly turned into something so much bigger, something that grew into my career, my business, and a huge part of who I am today.
Now at 33, looking back, it’s so special to be able to design pieces like this and share them with you. The Heirloom Collection is a reflection of that journey, slowing down, creating with intention, and making things that are meant to be kept, worn, and loved for years.

Special Stitches
BLO (Back Loop Only)
Instead of inserting your hook under both loops of the stitch, insert it into the back loop only (the loop farthest from you). This creates a ribbed texture.
FPdc (Front Post Double Crochet)
Yarn over, then insert your hook from front to back to front around the post of the stitch (the “body” of the stitch, not the top loops). Yarn over, pull up a loop, then finish your double crochet as usual. This makes the stitch pop towards the front.
BPdc (Back Post Double Crochet)
Yarn over, then insert your hook from back to front to back around the post of the stitch (the “body” of the stitch, not the top loops). Yarn over, pull up a loop, then finish your double crochet as usual. This pushes the stitch towards the back.
FPtr (Front Post Treble Crochet)
Yarn over twice, then insert your hook from front to back to front around the post of the stitch (the “body” of the stitch, not the top loops). Yarn over, pull up a loop, then complete the treble crochet as usual (yarn over, pull through 2 loops, three times). This creates a taller stitch that stands out in front.
Inc (Increase)
Place 2 half double crochet in the same stitch to create an increase.

Assembly
Joining back and front panels
We’ll be sewing all pieces from the right side.
Place the back panel and front panels together with the wrong sides facing each other. Using the mattress stitch, join the front and back panels, making sure the cables are aligned so they flow seamlessly from back to front. (PHOTOS 2, 3 & 4)
You should have a small gap in between both front panels (20(12, 20) 12(20, 12) 20(12, 20) stitches), this is to give space for the collar.
Joining the sleeves
Now lay the body of the cardigan on a table, open, right side facing up. Place sleeves open on each side. Without stretching the fabric, make sure the sleeves are centred and equal on both sides (back and front panel). (PHOTOS 5, 6 & 7)
Using the whip stitch, sew the sleeves in place. (PHOTOS 8, 9 &10)
Ribbed collar
Note: If you’d like to adjust the width of the ribbing, simply change the number of stitches per row. For example, this pattern uses 8 stitches—use 9 or 10 for a wider ribbing, or 7 or 6 for a narrower one.
Set-Up Row
With the cardigan laid flat in front of you, right side out, start at the right front panel (right side when looking at it, not when worn).
We will begin with a set-up row of single crochet worked all the way across: up the front panel, around the neckline, and down the other front panel. (PHOTOS 12 & 13)
- Front panels: Work into the sides of the rows starting at the bottom of the ribbing using this pattern: 1 sc, 2 sc in the next row, repeating across. This means you are working 1 stitch in one row, then 2 stitches in the next, alternating all the way up.
- Neckline: Work 1 sc into each stitch across, no increases.
- Second front panel: Repeat the same as the first panel: 1 sc, 2 sc alternating down.
The set-up row is now complete. We will now work the ribbed collar, attaching it to the edge as we go.
With your yarn still attached, you should have finished the set-up sc row on the left side of the cardigan (when looking at it). For all sizes, ch 9.
Row 1: Sc in the second ch from the hook and in every ch across, sl st in the next st (from the cardigan), sl st again in the next st (from the cardigan). Turn and now work sc BLO across the collar ribbing except for the last st, sc through both loops in the last st. Ch 1 and turn. (8 sts)
Row 2: Sc BLO all the way down the row, sl st in the next st (from the cardigan), sl st again in the next st (from the cardigan). Turn, and work sc BLO across the collar ribbing except for the last st, sc through both loops in the last st. Ch 1 and turn. (8 sts) (PHOTOS 14 & 15)
Repeat row 2 all the way up the left panel, the neckline of the cardigan and down the right panel.
Sewing the sides and shaping the cardigan
Once all pieces are attached and the ribbing has been crocheted to the collar (PHOTO 15), close it (right side out). Place a few stitch markers or binding clips to make sure the rows are aligned. Using the whip stitch, start sewing each side of the cardigan, from the side up and down the sleeves. (PHOTO 16)
Finishing
- Weave in the ends
- Wash or steam-block your cardigan
- Wear it all year long!

FAQ
Is this cardigan beginner-friendly?
This pattern is best suited for intermediate crocheters or confident beginners who are ready to try something new. The main technique used is crochet cables, which may look intimidating at first, but once you get into the rhythm, it becomes very repetitive and enjoyable.
I’ve never crocheted cables before, can I still make this?
Yes! If you’re comfortable with basic stitches like double crochet and are open to learning something new, you can definitely make this. I’ve included a step-by-step tutorial to help guide you through the cable stitch.
Can I use a different yarn?
Yes, you can substitute the yarn, but I recommend choosing something with a similar weight and fiber content to get the same look and fit. Keep in mind that changing yarn may affect your gauge and the final size of your cardigan.
How do I choose the right size?
The cardigan is designed with positive ease, meaning it has a relaxed, slightly oversized fit. I recommend comparing your measurements to the finished garment measurements and choosing the size that best matches your desired fit.
Can I adjust the length of the cardigan?
Yes! You can easily make your cardigan longer or shorter by adding or removing pattern repeats. Just make sure to finish your work 2 rows after a cable/cross row to keep the pattern looking clean.
Can I adjust the sleeve length?
Absolutely. Once all increases are complete and you’re working straight, you can add or remove rows to reach your desired sleeve length.
Can I make the cardigan wider or narrower?
Yes, but this requires adjusting the stitch counts while keeping the cable pattern in mind. The stitch count must follow the 8 + 4 multiple to maintain the cable placement, so be sure to swatch and plan your changes carefully.
Why does my cable stitch look tight or uneven?
Cables naturally pull the fabric in, so this is completely normal. Make sure to keep your tension consistent and give your cardigan a light block after finishing to help the stitches relax and even out.
How much yarn do I need?
Yarn amounts will vary depending on size, but I’ve included approximate yardage for each size in the pattern. Always consider getting a little extra yarn to be safe, especially if you plan to adjust the length.
Can I sell the cardigans I make from this pattern?
