(p - ) = my personal sweater measurements (I’m 5′2′’ and my sweater fits me very long and is over-sized)
Abbreviations:
dc = double crochet
BP = back post
FP = front post
st = stitch
sts = stitches
dec = decrease
sl st = slip stitch
inc = increase
BODY
Row 1: dc in continuous chain until long enough to wrap from one hip to the other (with your preferred slack) (p – 75)
*[BP, FP] repeat to end of row* repeat *…* until ribbing is desired length (p – repeat 4 times)
*dc in each st across* repeat *…* until under the arm where you want the sleeve to start (p – repeat 36 times)
*dec, dc to last 2 sts, dec* repeat *…* until just under the collar bone, considering how much rib you want for the neck (p – repeat 8 times)
SHOULDER PIECE
Find middle 6-10 sts (based on how wide you want the neck) (p – 7 sts), place 2 stitch markers on either side, making sure it’s even on both sides (p – 26 sts each side)
*dec, dc to last 2 sts, dec* repeat *…* until the length reaches the top of your shoulder (p – repeat 6 times)
Cut off, leaving a tail for sewing. Join yarn on other side and repeat steps for other shoulder piece
Repeat entire pattern for second sweater piece, you don’t have to leave tails at the shoulders this time
NECK
Sew the 2 sweater pieces together at the shoulders using the tails you left
Join yarn in first of the 6-10 sts on the back side of the sweater
Rnd 1: dc 6-10 (p – dc 7), put 2 dc along the side of each row (p – dc 24), dc 6-10 (p – dc 7), put 2 dc along the side of each row (p – dc 24) (p – total st count 62)
*[BP, FP] repeat to end of round* repeat *…* until desired length of ribbing (p – repeat 4 times)
SLEEVES
Calculate your total sts for the sleeve:
”total” refers to count from BOTH sweater pieces
(total dec rows from body + total rows from shoulder pieces) x 2 = total sts for your sleeve
(16 + 12) x 2 = 56
Chain long enough to wrap decently tightly around wrist (p – 30 chains), sl st in first chain
Rnd 1: dc in each st around
*[BP, FP] repeat to end of round* repeat *…* until desired length of ribbing (p – repeat 4 times)
Repeat *…* until you have your total st count you calculated earlier (p – repeat 13 times)
*dc in each st around* repeat *…* until sleeve is desired length (p – repeat 16 times)
Cut off, leave very long tail for sewing
Pin the first decrease row from both sweater pieces together. Sew the sleeve to the hole that is now formed, 2 dc along the side of each row. Continue sewing down the sweater to connect the front and back pieces
