The Someday Sweater crochet pattern by Grace Forthefrills is a great starting point for making your own handmade wardrobe. It works mostly with a basic set of stitches, which makes it very beginner-friendly. This crochet sweater comes in a comfy boxy fit and stylish balloon sleeves. The length is adjustable, so if you opt for longer cuts, you can easily customize it to suit your needs.
Is This A Good Pattern For Beginners?
This easy crochet sweater pattern is a project designed with beginners in mind. It has a simple four-panel construction (front, back and two sleeves) and calls for basic crochet stitches, mostly half double crochets.
The beautiful ribbing on the collar, hem, and cuffs is worked with front and back post stitches, so if you don’t know this technique yet, it’s your very best chance to add it to your repertoire.
What Yarn Works Best For This Sweater?
Work this sweater crochet pattern with bulky weight yarn, like Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Bulky (80% acrylic, 20% wool), to produce a nice chunky fabric that will keep you warm when it’s cool outside. This makes it a perfect clothing piece for fall, winter, or even early spring.
Already in love with the bright turquoise pastel color seen in the pictures? Bet you are – but feel free to try out any other shade you like.
How Much Yarn Do I Need for Someday Sweater?
Depending on the size, you will need more or fewer skeins to work this simple crochet pullover. For sizes XS, S, M, L and XL, you will need 6, 7, 8, 8, or 9 balls of bulky weight yarn, respectively. The pattern also provides instructions for plus-size body shapes from 2XL to 5XL.
If you go for a different yarn than the recommended one, you might need to adjust the number of skeins needed to complete your project.
