Hello blog friends. I set a crochet project goal to make a sweater. This is the first time crocheting a sweater and I found a free simple crochet pattern on Pinterest. I made an oversized sweater using this pattern.
I chose one color of yarn since it's the first time I've crocheted a sweater. I tried to buy dark-colored yarn but the bins were empty at Michaels. I chose this taupe-colored yarn thinking this will go with everything. I can wear this sweater with black pants or jeans.
I'm happy I challenged myself and crocheted a sweater. I think the sweater came out pretty good for my first crocheted sweater.
This is what the sweater looks like on me.
YARN: 7 Skeins of yarn - Charisma Loops & Threads - Color Taupe
CROCHET HOOK: L/8.0 mm hook
PATTERN: Here
NOTE: Changes to the pattern: The pattern called for 5 skeins of yarn but I had to use 7 skeins of yarn to complete this sweater. I used one color of yarn to make this sweater. I had to make changes to the pattern to fit me better. The size small was too big for me, so I adjusted the pattern smaller.
Adjustment:
Front: Chain 50
Row 1 = dc in 3rd ch from hook - 48 dc
Row 2 = ch 2 - turn - dc in ea. st. across = 48
Back: Chain 50
Row 1 = dc in 3rd ch from hook - 48 dc
Row 2 = ch 2 - turn - dc in ea. st. across = 48
To sew the sweater together I followed the measurements for a size small.
