The Men’s Shawl Collar Crochet Cardigan is a traditional knit-look crochet garment, an heirloom piece of clothing that you can enjoy your whole life. It’s not only the coziest piece of crochet wear you will ever have in your wardrobe, it’s also the most versatile. The shawl collar cardigan has both a formal and relaxed vibe that ranges from business wear to something you’ll wear lounging around at home. Wear it in place of a sport coat if you don’t want a tailored look. Button it up and wear it to most workplaces as smart or business casual. It can also be worn as an overcoat alternative, or it can be worn under an overcoat as a layering garment. The crochet pattern includes instructions for side seam pockets and no pockets.
