women’s crochet sweater PATTERN NOTES

SIZE ADJUSTMENTS

• The number of rows of the bottom hem determines the overall chest circumference
• You can adjust this by adding or taking away rows of sc blo when working on the hem. Make

  sure you have multiples of 10 + 2 rows of the bottom hem in total for the patterns repeats to

  work

• Based on the tension adjusting by 10 rows will add/take away around 5 cm from the chest

  circumference as a rough guide

• Length of the jumper is adjusted easily by adding or taking away rounds of hdc blo before

  splitting for front and back panels

• Armholes are adjusted by working more/less rows of the open shell pattern worked in rows.

  Make sure you add/take away same number of rows to both the front and back panel.

  Changing number of these rows will adjust the armhole by 1.5cm per 1 open shell repeat

• The sleeves are designed with 3/4 length but you can carry on with the sleeve pattern to

  make full length sleeves.

  WOMEN’S CROCHET SWEATER MAIN PATTERN

  BOTTOM HEM

  Chain 16.

  Row 1: start working into second ch from hook, 1 sc in each ch to end, turn. 15 sc

  Row 2: 1 ch (doesn’t count as a st here and throughout the pattern), 1 sc, 13 sc blo, 1 dc in last, turn. 15 sc

  Repeat Row 2 until you have 192 (202, 222, 242, 272, 292, 312, 332, 352) rows in total.

  Fold the hem in half and sew or crochet the two end rows together to form a round. Turn right side out and continue working on the right side around the long edge of the hem in rounds without turning.

  MAIN BODY You will continue working around the long edge of the hem. Work hdc sts around the end sc st of each row of the hem.

  Rnd 1: 2 ch (doesn’t count as a st), starting in the stitch at the bottom of beg 2 ch, 1 hdc around each end st of hem rows, sl st to first st to join into a round. 192 (202, 222, 242, 272, 292, 312, 332, 352) sts

  Rnd 2: 2 ch, 1 hdc blo in each st around, sl st to first st. 192 (202, 222, 242, 272, 292, 312, 332, 352) sts

  Repeat Rnd 2 until you have 47 (46, 45, 44, 43, 42, 40, 40, 38) rounds in total. Do not fasten off.

  Note: as you carry on working in rounds the starting position of the first hdc stitch will naturally move. This causes a diagonal line to appear across the jumper. You can counteract this by changing the starting position of the first stitch on every other round. If you want to keep this line straight at the side seam and make it less visible, please watch the video tutorial above on how to achieve this.
