This is a PDF crochet pattern for the Chilli & Bingo mother daughter matching sweater set.
This is not a finished product, only digital download of the crochet pattern, no refund if mistaken for finished product.

Skill level: intermediate color changing
The sweaters are completely made-to-measure, as a help to calculate the stitches needed, I attached an excel calculator in the downloads.
The sweaters are made entirely with single crochet (sc) and sc increase/decrease.
In the PDF file you will find a combination of written pattern and color changin charts.

Downloadables:

  • PDF: you can find a color changing chart in 1 and 2 page printables, the written description on how to make the sweater for your measurements (with the help of the excel calculator), instructions on colorwork, assembling, ribbing and blocking.
  • excel version of the charts
  • excel stitch/row calculator for your measurements
