To create this cardigan, you'll need to be familiar with the Tunisian crochet knit stitch. If you're new to the technique, there are plenty of online tutorials and videos available to help you get started.

For this pattern, you'll need worsted weight yarn in two contrasting colors, as well as a Tunisian crochet hook in size 8mm. You'll also need basic crochet supplies like a yarn needle, stitch markers, and scissors.

The cardigan is worked in three pieces - the back panel, left front panel, and right front panel. The panels are then seamed together to create the finished garment.

The body panels feature basic color block stripes, which add visual interest to the design. The sleeve cuffs and body hem are finished with a contrasting color piping, which adds a professional touch to the garment.

Once you've completed all three panels, it's time to seam them together. The creator recommends using the mattress stitch to seam the panels together for an invisible finish.

Overall, this Tunisian crochet cardigan pattern is a great choice for beginners who want to try their hand at Tunisian crochet. With a few basic stitches and some simple colorwork, you'll have a beautiful and stylish cardigan that you'll be proud to wear!
