My Classic Ladies VNeck Cardigan is crocheted from the top down, all in one piece. The only part that you need to sew is the underarm seams.

This pattern is perfect for beginners as it only contains double crochet and single crochet stitches. If you can make a this solid granny square then you will be able to make this cardigan.

dc rows = when the pattern refers to the number of dc rows it also takes into account that the dc row incorporates a sc row inbetween them. It’s just easier to count them in groups like this
