Pattern Overview:
Panels Creation:
- Crochet two panels for the front and back.
- Use a foundation chainless single crochet start.
- Stitch pattern is a two-row repeat, based on multiples of 17 stitches.
- For a panel, multiply the stitch pattern as needed for your size (e.g., 68 stitches for a standard size).
Optional: Use multiple colors to add stripes.
Foundation Row:
- Start with a slip knot, chain two.
- Make a foundation chainless single crochet in multiples of 17 until you reach the desired width.
Stitch Pattern:
- Row 1: Start with double crochet two together (dc2tog) across the first two stitches. Chain 1, then create puff stitches in the next five stitches, followed by six dc2tog to create a curved pattern. Repeat across the row.
- Row 2: All single crochet across, changing colors as desired.
Repeat these two rows to create the pattern, alternating colors if desired.
Construction:
- Sew the front and back panels together at the shoulders.
- Crochet sleeves in the round with a foundation chainless single crochet, following the same two-row pattern, and sew them into the armholes.
- Sew the sides of the sweater.
- Add a neckline border by crocheting around the neck opening.
Finishing:
- Weave in ends, ensuring to secure any color changes tightly.
- You can play with the neckline and the end of the sleeves for different styles (e.g., more open or tight).
Important Tips:
- When changing colors, especially if using many colors, weave in ends as you go to avoid having to deal with too many later.
- Feel free to adjust the size of the sweater by altering the number of stitches in the foundation row and the total number of rows crocheted.
