In today’s tutorial, we talked about creating a basic raglan yoke. Keep in mind that this is a super simple pattern that uses no multiples or special stitching. This pattern can be crocheted in ANY size you want, from newborn to adult, all you need are two simple measurements: head circumference and back width, both of which are available below.
Since I posted all of the necessary calculations on the video, I’ll just post the measurements on today’s blog post.
You can purchase the full pattern for this cardigan, below. The pattern includes the measurement charts, photos, notes, and the full written instructions for the yoke and cardigan.

Once you have completed the yoke, you will begin to add length to your cardigan. Below, you’ll find some average measurements for various sizes ranging from newborn to adult sizes. Please note that these are average sizes, they are not always “one size fits all”. For a better fit, you can measure one of your best-fitting cardigans and use those measurements.
The tutorial for this cardigan is available on YouTube (the embedded video can be found below the measurement chart).

Grazie mille per questo stupendo tutorial e per tutte le misure che hai condiviso. Stavo proprio cercando qualcosa per iniziare un cardigan per mio figlio e vedendoti (con la traduzione automatica in italiano e a rallentatore) ho deciso di provarci..solo che mio figlio è un ormone alto 190 cm, quindi avrò un bel po’ da lavorare!! È il mio primo lavoro con l’uncinetto tunisino, ma il tuo tutorial mi ha proprio invogliato. Grazie e complimenti
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial and for all the measurements you have shared. I was just looking for something to start a cardigan for my son and seeing you (with the automatic translation into Italian and in slow motion) I decided to try .. only that my son is a 190 cm high big man, so I will have a lot to do a lot of work !! It’s my first job with Tunisian crochet, but your tutorial really enticed me. Thank you and congratulations
Mille grazie a te! Sono contenta che ti piaccia il tutorial. 😊
