Aurora Sweater

"Designed with simplicity in mind, the Aurora sweater is constructed in four easy-to-manage pieces (front, back, and two sleeves). With minimal shaping at the neckline and sleeves, the result is an effortlessly chic garment. The body is worked in the textured crunch stitch using the main colour, while the sleeves bring contrast with a half-double crochet in a contrasting colour. The neck features a timeless ribbing, created with single crochet in the back loop, for a snug yet flexible fit. This pattern includes the option of adding a ribbed hem in the contrast colour – perfect if you prefer a longer pullover. Available in sizes S through 3X, you can create a garment that you’ll love to wear. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS Aran weight yarn, total amounts; 1652, (1812, 2073, 2226, 2496, 2680) see finished size below for main colour and contrast colour 5mm / H-8 crochet hook Tape Measure Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE To Fit (inches) Width (inches) Length (inches Yarn Amounts Main Colour Yarn Amounts Contrast Colour Total Yarn Amounts S 32 – 34 38 24.5 1073 579 1652 M 36 – 38 42 25 1206 606 1812 L 40 – 42 46 25.5 1400 673 2073 XL 44 – 46 50 26 1544 682 2226 2X 48 – 50 54 26.5 1693 803 2496 3X 52 – 54 60 26.5 1810 870 2680 /STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS USED Single Crochet (sc) Single Crochet Back Loop Only (scblo) Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog) Half Double Crochet (hdc) Half Double Crochet 2 Together (hdc2tog) Slip Stitche (sl st) Chain (ch) Stitch/es (st/s) Each (ea) Repeat (rep) Continue (cont) Between (bet) Right Side (RS) Wrong Side (WS) Main Colour (MC) Contrast Colour (CC)"
