Plus-Size Crochet Cardigans That Fit: 25 Stylish Patterns In Sizes 1x To 6x Designed for Real Proportions [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

Tired of crocheting cardigans from "inclusive" patterns that still gap at the bust, ride up at the back, and bunch at the shoulders?This collection of 25 cardigan patterns was engineered from a plus-size foundation — not scaled up from a straight-size template.
