A cropped crochet cardigan is a trendy and versatile layering piece that pairs well with high-waisted pants, skirts, or dresses. This shorter length adds a modern twist to the classic cardigan, making it ideal for both casual and dressed-up looks. Lightweight yarns like cotton or bamboo create a breezy spring/summer version, while wool blends offer warmth for cooler months. The cropped style works up quickly, requiring less yarn than full-length designs. Details like ribbed edges, buttons, or lace inserts can customize the cardigan to your taste. Whether worn open or fastened, a cropped crochet cardigan is a stylish addition to any wardrobe, offering effortless chic.

This light weight, cotton Cropped Cardi Crochet Pattern is great for summer nights when it’s not quite warm, but not cold enough for a jacket either. For this cardi I used my most favorite-est cotton ever (ever, ever!) The Pima Cotton from We Are Knitters. It is unbelieveably light and comfortable. There’s no other cotton like it!
