Hello everyone! 

This sweater design is one of my favourite so far because it's so easy and you can get it done in a day or two. 

Once you understand how to construct the design you don't even have to refer to the pattern anymore and you can simply adjust it to your liking, whether you want it to be longer or a cropped sweater style.

I put the summary tables at the bottom of this page for all sizes, you can refer to that tables only when you understood how to do the pattern already.

If you don’t understand any part of this pattern, please refer to the video tutorial.

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted my last design and finally as requested, I made a crocheted sweater and this is the outcome. 

I wanted to make a sweater that looks like a knitted sweater and this is the best design that I came up with. Honestly, I am not a good knitter but I really love the stitches created by knitting and the closest stitch we can use in crochet to create the knit-like stitch are single crochet and slip stitch. I know it feels like forever to finish a project using single crochet or slip stitch but trust me it will worth all your hard work^^
