The Lottie sweater is loose fitting and has an open lacy stitch pattern that’s simple to crochet yet looks elegant and stylish. Suitable for wearing in formal and informal settings and from day-to-night, this pattern’s versatility makes it the perfect garment to add to your wardrobe year-round.

The Lottie sweater uses the ascending shells stitch pattern throughout the body and sleeves. The yarn and stitch combination of this pattern gives a gorgeous drape!

The front and back panel are rectangular in shape with no shaping. The sleeves use decreases to shape and this is achieved by working stitches together and single crochet in chain spaces.

Suitable for all skill levels (including advanced beginners), my pattern will show you how to crochet your own sweater for sizes S through to 5X.
