The Fall To Winter Crochet Sweater

"The Fall to Winter Crochet Sweater is a free and easy crochet pattern that is designed as a made to measure, size inclusive and beginner friendly crochet sweater pattern. This sweater is designed for coziness and drape. The crochet stitch used is stunning. It has a beautiful effect that brings out the colours of a self striping or ombre skein, and would look equally gorgeous in a solid colour. The stitch is a simple combination of single crochets and double crochets. It's also incredibly fun because you are crocheting into large spaces - a lot easier and a lot faster for beginners! The Fall to Winter Crochet Sweater features a slightly raised crew neck design that will keep you warm as the winter approaches. The sweater features oversized cuffs to give it a cute modern look. The sweater is designed to hit below the waist with an oversized look, however it can also be customized easily as a crop or a longer tunic. You will start by crocheting a back panel and a front panel. You will crochet the panels bottom up. After you crochet the required length, you will crochet two chains on either side. This will be the start of the sleeves. The length of each chain will be equal to the sleeve length. You will then continue the crochet pattern across the entire width (left sleeve, panel, right sleeve). After you crochet the top half of the panel and reached the required length you will crochet the neckline. Finally you will seam the front panel and the back panels together. You will then crochet cuffs for the sleeves and sew these on to the sleeves. You will then crochet a ribbing around the neck. The Fall to Winter Crochet Sweater is a free and easy crochet pattern available as a size inclusive made to measure pattern. It is beginner friendly and uses weight 4/worsted yarn. The stitch used is beginner friendly and primarily uses double crochets and single crochets."
