Free Stripe It Bright Crochet Sweater Pattern

Pattern not easy to follow

Completed the yoke and followed pattern carefully but I have a completely different number of stitches - less than the pattern suggests so I can’t continue with the body. I’ve gone over and over it and I’ve followed the pattern correctly. I have 8 rounds so can’t do another one to increase it. Sadly it does not tell you have many stitches you should have after each round so you don’t realise until you have done 8! Going to unpick and find a pattern that’s more descriptive but wonder if someone should be checking the number of stitches is correct.

• The yoke increases by 8 sts in the first round and 16 sts per round for the rest of the increase rounds (see Rnd 2 instructions). You should have a (1 dc. Ch 2. 1 dc.) four times in the 1st rnd and, after the first round, the yoke increases (2 dc. Ch 2. 2 dc.) should be worked into each of the ch-2 spaces. By the end of the yoke increases, you should have 168 (168-170-172-188-190) dc and 4 ch-2 spaces. The dc sts between the ch-2 sps are divided as follows: 46 (50-51-52-56-57) dc for Back; 38 (42-42-42-46-46) dc for Sleeve; 46 (50-51-52-56-57) dc for Front; 38 (42-42-42-46-46) dc for Sleeve. We hope you enjoy the rest of your Patons Stripe it Bright Crochet Sweater!

yarn amounts wrong

yarn amounts look wrong as you use much more teal than cherry but they are listed as the same

• You are correct. Yarn requirements for Cherry should be the same as they are for Teal.

Yarn quantities do not make sense

The yarn requirements here do not make sense. I do not understand why you are requiring 2 skiens of the red shade when the same amt is needed for that then the teal shade, which make up more of the sweater.

What would be a good non-wool yarn to use for this pattern?
