Patchwork Sweater
"This is a lightweight yet snuggly sweater that’s perfect for sparking your creativity as you mix and match your favourite colours. Crocheted in strips, this is the perfect project to work on when you’re short of time or on the move. Perfect for using up your stash too. The strips are worked in single crochet and back loop single crochet, with two options for joining them. The sleeves are crocheted separately in blocks of colour and complete the modern, oversized silhouette. /DETAILS Skill level : Intermediate US Terminology /MATERIALS DK Yarn: Total (see colour breakdown in the Finished Size section): 1975, (2150, 2350, 2650, 3300, 3800) yds 4mm / G-6 Crochet Hook Stitch markers or dressmaker pins Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE To Fit (inches) Width approx.
