This sweater design is straightforward and cozy. This sweater is oversize and cropped perfect for Autumn. This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners familiar with basic crochet terms. If you want your sweater to be less oversize or more oversize, you can increase or decrease ensuring you have an even number of chains.
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 1 at the beginning of the row counts as the 1st sc unless stated.
The ch 3 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 3 from the previous rows.

This pattern is worked from the bottom up in separate panels and then sewn together.
