This colour block drop sleeve seamless sweater is easy to make, easy to wear and fit. Made from a gloriously stretchy crochet stitch choose whether you will wear it fitted or baggy.
Create you own look by choosing muted variations on a shade or going bold with clashing colours. The curved hem is flattering and makes sizing easier as you only need to fit for the bust not the bust and hips. “We’ve shown it worn on two different women so you can see what it looks like worn with no ease and with 6in of ease at the bust”
Also – it’s got pockets! We all love pockets.

Charn forms part of the book Everyday Wearables - a collection of eight wardrobe staples with comprehensive instructions and many photo tutorials to help you make garments that fit and flatter.

Pattern is written in standard UK crochet terminology with US translations provided in the abbreviations.

With this sweater you can choose the amount of ease you like to give the fit you prefer. For a slim fitting sweater choose a size up to 8cm/3in larger than your actual bust size. For a loose fitting sweater choose a size 10-15cm/4-6in larger than your actual bust size. The sweater is made without waist shaping and the hip is open so you do not need to worry about fitting at the hip.

Length and fit adjustments are given throughout, remember yarn requirements are for the pattern as written, adding extra length will use more yarn.
