There’s something incredibly comforting about wrapping yourself in a soft, cloudy embrace, especially when it’s a sweater you’ve crafted with your own hands. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to the Figs Oversized Crop Sweater Pattern, a design that promises both style and comfort.

Specialty Stitch & Technique Key

…Foundation Double Crochet
STEP 1: Ch 2
STEP 2: Yarn over and insert your hook into the first chain.
STEP 3: Yarn over and draw up a loop.
STEP 4: Yarn over and draw yarn through the first loop on your hook. This makes a chain stitch.
STEP 5: Yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook.
STEP 6: Yarn over and pull through the last two loops on your hook.
STEP 7: Yarn over and insert your hook under both loops of the base of the previous stitch (the chain you created in Step 4).
STEP 8: Yarn over and pull up a loop.
STEP 9: Yarn over and pull through 1 (like you did in Step 4), yarn over, and pull through 2 twice (as you did in Steps 5 and 6).
Keep repeating steps 7-9 to grow your foundation double crochet row.

Notes
Ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch.

The sweater is made of 2 panels (front and back).

It’s crocheted from bottom to top.

First you will make the back and front panel. You will slip stitch the front panel and the back panel together on shoulders and
underarms. Crochet the waist and finish with a round of fpdcs and sl sts around the neck hole.

You can lengthen the sweater by adding rows on the front and back panel (this will also result in wider sleeves), or by adding rows on the waist.

The waist width can also be adjustable. Work more or less sl sts on the underarm seam for that.
