I’ve crocheted for years, and I finally made a sweater! First time ever. It was for my granddaughter and wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. Now I want to attempt a cardigan for me.

I found a pattern that only requires sewing the shoulder seams together. I bought the yarn, but the more I look at the photos, the less I like the overall sweater. https://makeanddocrew.com/nearly-seamless-crochet-cardigan-pattern/

So, now I’m searching for a new pattern that appeals to my aesthetic! I welcome all your suggestions. And, yes, I’ve been searching Ravelry.

Have you checked out the Noro magazine patterns? I haven't crocheted any of their patterns, but I have knitted some. I like the recent magazines, issue 22 through current, not sure about before that. The Noro crochet books are beautiful.

Check out MJ’s Off the Hook Designs and/or Briana K Designs. Both have lots of gorgeous crochet sweater patterns (and other accessories too), and both have great blog and video instructions.
