    Amazing! The best crochet sweater ever!

    Love this sweater I get so many compliments! I made one for myself and one for my sister. The yarn is INSANLEY soft and comfy! I was confused at first because I have never done cuff to cuff but I just kept following the directions and it came out perfect! I have a video of it on my tiktok @sashapark if you want to see it I don’t know how to upload a photo on here

    Easy to follow pattern, comfy, warm & fashionable

    This is one of the easiest patterns to follow, yet comes out so nice and fashionable! It's made mostly in one piece - you do stitch the cuffs separately and sew them onto the body of the sweater, and since you crochet the sleeves flat you do need to seam the sleeves, and also add the collar edging by reattaching your yarn and stitching about 7 or 8 rows back and forth. The cuff and sleeve seams are the only seams in the pattern, and they give the cardigan its shape. For the most part, I didn't make this in a Caron yarn. I had purchased a Vanna's Complement yarn on clearance, so I used that instead, using Caron Simply Soft for the cuffs, and Lion Brand Homespun for the collar (because that particular yarn had a special sentimental meaning to me, I wanted it closest to my heart). Also, the colors I used celebrate my graduate school alma mater. I also added pockets to mine. I made two 6" x 3.5" squares - mostly in the main body color, but since I used other colors for the cuffs and collar, I trimmed the top of the pockets with those colors, too. I stitched them on about an inch to the side of the added collar, on the main body of the sweater, and and inch & a half up from the bottom. It makes the cardigan so much more functional. I did stay true to the pattern otherwise, however, and am actually wearing the sweater as I type this because I pretty much wear it all day, every day, except in Summer! I'd take a picture, but it sorely needs to be washed. It is the most comfortable, warm cardigan I own, and that includes any that I have purchased. In fact, I prefer to wear it instead of most jackets and coats I own. I just put a large, decorative safety pin or other removeable clasp to close it up if I wear it to the store as my jacket. It's a very versatile piece. I've begun to make another one in another color, since orange doesn't go with everything, and since it's taken a beating because I prefer it over everything else I have (I made this one in 2019 and it's still in great shape despite a good deal of use). In my opinion, I think that, because you stitch in between the stitches instead of on top of each stitch like you normally do with crochet, it makes the crocheted fabric more air-tight than crochet often is, making the sweater warmer than many other crocheted projects. The pattern crochets up very quickly, the instructions are very easy to follow, and the style is timeless. Many people have stopped me and told me how nice my sweater is when they see me wearing it. I think you can make it in so many different yarns, and give it as a gift to women and men alike, and make all of the people in your life happy and warm. It's a great, versatile pattern.

    after shaping selves 64 stitches at this point. Continue even in patter until worm from beginning measure 13. I want to make sure that this includes/does not include the increases from the odd rows before.

    My first sweater1

    The part that says "1 hdc in sp bet first 2 hdc, then 1 hdc bet the next 2 hdc", does that mean hdc in every other space or hdc in each space?

    Newby1

    I am very confused on this step: Next 6 rows: Ch 6. 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook. 1 hdc in each of next 3 ch. *1 hdc in sp between next 2 hdc. Do I chain 6 for each row? Mine looks like a zig zag right how.

    Dakotastitcher1

    In the 1st row after the Foundation row, you chain 2 and place a hdc in the space between the first 2 hdc, then1 hdc in the space between the next 2 hdc. If the hdc's are right next to each other, where is the space between them? Thank you for your help.

    daughterofgrace19661

    There seems to be an error in the pattern once you get to the "next 6 rows" in the Cardigan section in that the addition of 4 and then 25 only extends on one side and does not yield the 88 and 140 calculated in the pattern. Does anyone have a solution?
