ADDITIONAL NOTES:

• This filet crochet turtleneck sweater is made creating the body as one piece (front and back) with a neck hole, creating the sleeves (x2) separately, then adding ribbing on the sleeves, the hem and finally adding the turtleneck ribbing (which you seam shut), then seaming the arms to the body of the sweater at the shoulder and then seaming down the sleeves and sides to finish.
• The filet style is created by skipping stitches and chaining in it’s place – in this instance, the chain is counted as a stitch and holes are created in a vertical striped pattern.
• The CH 1 at the start of each row does NOT count as a stitch.
• The instructions for the sizes is broken down separately for this pattern, and assembly instructions for all are given at the end.
• You must know how to decrease for the sleeves and how to crochet the ribbing directly on to the sleeves, hem and neck in a perpendicular fashion. You must also know how to increase for the neck hole and turtleneck ribbing.
• The neck hole opening should be big enough for any of the sizes, but should you feel you need a looser turtleneck hole, you can do more increases than called for in the increase round. I would suggest increasing in every 2nd ST instead of every 4th ST per the pattern, for a more cowl-like turtleneck.
• The sleeves are a little extra long on this piece to give a cozy feel, but you can customize it by shortening it if you like, or you can simply fold the sleeve ribbing down.
• If you do not know how to crochet the ribbing directly on to the piece, you can create it separately and whip stitch them on afterward, but it creates a bulkier seam.
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the row.
