Knit a cozy oversized cardigan and decorate it with crocheted 3D flowers or strawberries: this strawberry cardigan pattern gives you both looks in one 2-in-1 PDF. The body is knitted bottom-up in one piece with minimal seaming, the appliqués are crocheted, and video links help with key steps. It fits about US sizes 8–14 with a shoulder width of about 23–24 in (58–61 cm) and is written in US knitting and crochet terms: a sweet wearable among our crochet patterns.
What you'll make
Picture a soft, chunky cardigan scattered with little three-dimensional strawberries, or blooming with crocheted flowers. This design combines the speed and drape of a knitted body with the playful detail of crochet appliqués, and you decide which version to make. Both looks share the same cardigan base, so you can even make one of each.
The relaxed oversized fit makes it a true comfort piece: easy to throw on over a dress, a simple tee or a turtleneck. The appliqués add a cheerful, cottage-inspired touch that feels handmade in the best possible way.

How the pattern works: step by step
This strawberry cardigan pattern follows a clear making order, combining knitting and crochet where each technique works best:
- Knit the body. The cardigan body is worked bottom-up as one piece on circular needles, which keeps seaming to a minimum.
- Join the shoulders. The only seams are at the shoulders, so finishing is quick and tidy.
- Complete the cardigan. The pattern covers the sleeves, the cuffs and the button band that give the cardigan its cozy silhouette and a neat front edge.
- Crochet the appliqués. Finally, you crochet the 3D flowers or strawberries and attach them to the cardigan.
Whenever you want to see a step in action, the video links guide you through the key moments.
Knitting gives the cardigan its soft drape; crochet gives it the little strawberries and flowers that make you smile.
Pattern Details
- Detailed step-by-step PDF instructions
- Written in US knitting and crochet terms
- Cardigan body worked bottom-up as one piece
- Minimal seaming – only the shoulders are joined
- Includes button band, cuffs, sleeves, flowers, and strawberries
- Perfect for makers who love stylish handmade wearable pieces
Cardigan Size
- Approx. US sizes 8–14 with a relaxed oversized fit
- Shoulder width approx. 23–24 inches (58–61 cm) depending on yarn and tension
Materials Needed
- Bulky weight yarn (#5) for the cardigan body
- Worsted/aran weight yarn (#4) for flowers and strawberries
- Circular knitting needles and crochet hooks as listed in the pattern
Yarn, needle and hook guide
The cardigan body uses a bulky weight yarn (#5), which knits up quickly and creates a warm, squishy fabric with a beautiful drape. For the appliqués, a worsted/aran weight yarn (#4) gives the flowers and strawberries enough definition to stand out in three dimensions. Use the circular needles and crochet hooks listed in the pattern to match the intended fabric.
Because the shoulder width depends on yarn and tension, knit a gauge swatch before you start and compare it with the pattern. Soft wool blends feel cozy for colder months, while cotton-rich yarns are lighter for transitional weather. For the strawberries, a classic red with a fresh green top looks charming; for the flowers, try white or pastel petals with a sunny center.
Techniques you'll use
This project brings two crafts together, so it suits makers who enjoy both knitting and crochet or want to explore the combination:
- Knitting in one piece from the bottom up on circular needles
- Joining the shoulders with a simple seam
- Working sleeves, cuffs and a button band
- Crocheting small 3D appliqués
- Sewing the appliqués securely onto knitted fabric
The video links are especially handy if one of the two crafts is newer to you.
Finishing and care
Block the knitted cardigan before attaching the appliqués, so the fabric settles into its final shape. Plan the placement of your strawberries or flowers by pinning them on first, then step back and check the balance before sewing them down with matching yarn.
Wash the finished cardigan by hand in cool water following your yarn label, gently press out the water and dry it flat. Shape the appliqués with your fingers while damp so they keep their 3D form.
Make it your own
Scatter strawberries all over, cluster them along the button band or place just a few near the shoulders and cuffs. Mix flowers and strawberries on one cardigan for a garden-party look, or choose a cream base with pastel appliqués for a soft, romantic feel. A bold body color, like sage, lilac or butter yellow, gives the design a fresh, modern twist.
Gift ideas
A handmade cardigan with strawberries or flowers is a heartfelt gift for a birthday, Mother's Day or the holidays. It is perfect for a friend who loves cottagecore style, a sister who adores strawberries or anyone who deserves a cozy, one-of-a-kind layer.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know both knitting and crochet?
Yes. The cardigan body is knitted and the flowers and strawberries are crocheted. The step-by-step PDF and video links help with the key steps of both.
Which sizes does it fit?
The cardigan fits approx. US sizes 8–14 with a relaxed oversized fit, and the shoulder width is approx. 23–24 inches (58–61 cm), depending on yarn and tension.
Can I make both the strawberry and the flower version?
Yes. Both appliqué styles are included in the 2-in-1 PDF, so you can choose one, make both versions or even combine them on one cardigan.
How much seaming is there?
Very little. The body is knitted in one piece, and only the shoulders are joined.
Can I use a different yarn for the appliqués?
The pattern uses a worsted/aran weight yarn (#4) for the appliqués. A thinner yarn makes smaller flowers and strawberries, a thicker one larger appliqués.
