Fleetwood
I have had the idea for this sweater in my mind (and in my heart!) for years but I was too daunted by the unknowns of combining crochet with knitting to tackle it. Well, now that I’ve done it, I don’t know what I was afraid of! These sister crafts were meant to work together and I am beyond thrilled with the results. This sweater combines just the right amount of unique challenges with easy, mindless stockinette stitch. I’m in my Granny era and I love it!
