This sweater was inspired by a sweater that has been passed from person to person in my family and held a lot of sentimental value. I felt I had to try and recreate the beloved sweater.

This sweater pattern is designed to be straightforward and quick to make. Its made mainly worked in double crochet. This sweater is oversize and cropped perfect for Autumn and is suitable for advanced beginners familiar with basic crochet terms.

This pattern is worked from the bottom up in working in rounds, with minimal seaming.
As each round is joined with a slip stitch, this provides the opportunity for as many colour changes as possible for some variety if you wish.
You can easily make the sweater shorter or longer by adding more rows in multiples of 2 before tying it off on the body or sleeves. Be sure to add the same number of rows to the back panel. Take into account that you will need extra yarn.
The ch 2 at the beginning of the row counts as the 1st dc, and the last dc of the row is worked on top of the ch 2 from the previous rows.
