My Crochet Sweater!

I made a sweater for summer!

My youngest has made a few of these sweaters so I followed their instructions and started with a hexagon - which they actually started for me! - and kept going until it was the right size. Once the sleeves and shoulder area was sized right, I did some extra rows to get it wide and long enough.

There were a couple of resets and frogging along the way as I was learning as I went and kept rethinking things - like how long the sleeves needed to be.

To join, I used a slip stitch on the right side of the sweater. Then, once assembled, I did 4 rows of slip stitch to finish the edging. The photo on the left shows the raised back seam and the edging; the photo on the right is closeup of the edging.

I used about 4 1/2 100g balls in cream from Purl Soho. This was the same yarn I used for my granny square blanket.

Snapped a quick photo to show the size. I've got an upcoming event with an outfit it will go well with - better than my NPR tee!

Have a wonderful day! Patty
