Patchwork-Style Cardigan Crocheted in One Continuous Piece

Fans of filet crochet may enjoy this patchwork-style cardigan. It is worked in one continuous piece rather than from separate motifs, using a grid of filled and open squares plus a simple spider-stitch pattern often used for shawls.

The square-like pattern suits this straight-cut model because it does not require complex armhole or sleeve-cap shaping.

Here are two more pattern-free options in a similar technique. They can work for a cool evening, over a blouse at the office, or for an occasion out. Yarn of any colour can be used; white and cream work particularly well in cotton, viscose, or linen.
