Today we have a new easy everyday crochet cardigan pattern to share with you all! Maylee is such a cozy, beginner friendly sweater and it whips up very quickly.
I love the longer style and casual, no buttons opening. It’s great for layering and creating a relaxed look. This is my go-to style for winter, so I decided to design one that I would love to wear every day!
The Maylee pattern calls for bulky yarn, so this sweater is a fairly quick project. Faster than crocheting a blanket, which I no longer seem to have the patience for…sad!
You can find the pattern on Etsy.

The drop shoulder design features five panels that are sewn together as you go. Two sets of panels are exactly the same, making things even easier. Included in the pattern are women’s sizes XS, S, M/L, XL, and 2X, perfect for making one for yourself and one for a friend.
Shown here is Knit Picks Simply Wool in the color Wilbur. I loved working with this yarn. It was easy to work with and I’m finding it to wear very well, too. I’ve never had a wool sweater before and I like it!
The only supplies you’ll need is a 7mm crochet hook (or size to get gauge) and a tapestry needle. I really like using these sewing clips to hold the pieces when I sewed the panels together. But those are optional, of course. I also like to use stitch markers to keep track of counting rows. Or tally marks scrawled on the pattern page work, too!
If you decide to give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Thanks for reading, my crochet friends. I hope you enjoy!

Very helpful tips and eye-catching design. Thank you for the details shared. This truly helps.
Stella Mary, thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the pattern.
Could I use a 4 worst medium acrylic yarn? I’m not a big fan of wool.
Hi Teresa! The pattern calls for bulky yarn so you’d want to use bulky yarn for this sweater. If you use worsted, you wouldn’t have the same gauge. Any fiber would be fine, though.
