Crochet Versatile Textured Wrap Sweater

Materials Needed:

• Chunky weight yarn (approx. 800 yards)
• Size N (10 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Measuring tape
• Stitch markers

Stitch Abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• sc = single crochet
• fl = front loop only

Gauge:

8 dc = 4 inches in textured stitch pattern.

Pattern Instructions:

Body

1. Make a slip knot, chain 60 (or desired width for the wrap).
2. Row 1: Dc in the 4th ch from the hook. Dc in each ch across (58 dc). Turn.
3. Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), *dc in fl of each dc across. Turn.*
4. Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures 25 inches long or desired length for the wrap.

Building The Sleeve Openings

1. Ch 2, dc in the first fl.
2. Row 1: Work 2 dc in the fl for the next 2 stitches, then continue working in the fl until 2 dc remain. Work next 2 dc together (decrease).
3. Repeat this until you achieve the desired width of the sleeves, about 10-12 inches.

Finishing

1. Fasten off leaving a long tail. Using a yarn needle, seam the edges together to create sleeve seams.
2. Optionally, add buttonholes by chaining three and skipping the same number of stitches at interval points along the edge.
3. Weave in all loose ends.
4. Block the sweater lightly to shape.
