How to Crochet a Stylish Sweater with Floral Accents

You’ll Need:

500g of grey Duode Nicole yarn (70% wool, 30% acrylic; 100m/50g);

Crochet hook 7;

Knitting needles 3.

Size:

S.

Used Patterns

Main Pattern:

Due to the scheme 1;

3 x 3 rib.

Stitches Control:

3 x 3 rib: 27 sts x 25 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Main pattern: 5 pattern repeats = 10 cm.

Instructions

Back

Cast on 84 sts and make 17 cm of 3 x 3 rib. Then, increase 16 sts and work with the main pattern with the crochet hook, increasing 1 pattern repeat in every 2^nd row from both sides. Make 20 cm this way, then knit 17 cm straight. After that, bind off 15 pattern repeats for the neck-hole and finish each side separately. Decrease 1 pattern repeat in the next row from both sides and work 2 cm straight. Make another half in the same way.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, after finishing the increase, work 15 cm straight, then bind off 15 pattern repeats and finish each side separately. Decrease 1 pattern repeat in the next row from both sides and work 1 cm straight.

Flowers

Make 13 petals due to the scheme 2 with knitting needles. Then, make 5 big and 3 small flowers due to the scheme 3 (make 3 rows for small flowers and 5 rows for big ones).

Assembly

Make side seams. Sew the composition of flowers and petals. Fasten the sleeves.
