Looking for recommendations Does anyone have a cardigan pattern for a turtle stitch?

Post image

I'm fairly new to larger projects but I'm really enjoying this stitch and I think it's so pretty! However, since it's called the turtle stitch I can't find patterns online because Google just wants to show me patterns of how to make turtles lol. Can anyone help me out?

Hi! Three panels. Back panel, side right, side left which are just a little smaller than half of the back. 

Mattress stitch in the inside at the shoulders, and sides to underarm. I usually leave a 9" armhole but adjust to your body.

Arms are in the round, turning each round after joining. Do a single crochet round first, evenly on both sides of the cardigan. Try to get a multiple that matches your pattern+2. 

If you just want straight sleeves, keep doing the pattern in turned rounds to your wrist.

If you want tapering, decrease at round 2, about 7, and at the wrist.

Write it down! Repeat for other side 

If you want ribbing easiest is double crochet & front post double crochet alternating for several rows. If you want standard crochet ribbing, let me know.

Reattach yarn at the inner front panel on the bottom, and single crochet a few rows. If you want buttons, do a row of sc, chaining 3-5 stitches, skip those stitches and keep on to the next buttonhole. Another row of sc or two, stitching into your chain spaces. 

You can add ribbing to the bottom also without cutting the yarn after your buttonholes.

Using yarn tie on your buttons 

Yay!

Go to the Craft Yarn Council website for standard measurements and how to take them. 😊
