A bell-sleeved crochet cardigan pattern
A glamorous crochet cardigan with bell sleeves pattern that has a detachable faux fur collar! This statement piece works up fast.
For this design, I used a sparkly yarn to really up the glam factor but you can use something more simple for day to day way. It will still have a stylish flair with the bell sleeve.
A full video tutorial is included to help you get stitches right, the bell sleeve taper and flare as well as many ways to attach the detachable fur collar for easy garment washing. No guesswork. I’ve got you covered.
You can make the sleeve full length or more of a statement bracelet length as shown in sample.

The pattern for this crochet cardigan utilizes a unique stitch that provides a no-stretch effect, ensuring that your cardigan maintains its shape over time. This stitch is specifically chosen to create a structured and well-fitted garment that will flatter your figure.
By using a no-stretch stitch, you can be confident that your cardigan will not lose its shape or become baggy with wear. This is especially important for a garment like a cardigan, which is often worn open and relies on its shape to drape nicely on the body.
I have a whole post of 5 other crochet stitches that don’t stretch out.

The ribbing is a vertical stitch as covered in this post series on ribbed stitches. It holds its shape and doesn’t stretch so you can be sure of a sleek lasting fit.
The ribbing is thoughtfully placed by size so proportion is flattering to your height and build.
