This easy-level crochet pattern combines comfort and style with its cropped silhouette, simple raglan construction, and charming ribbon detail at the neckline.

Ideal for beginners looking to tackle their first garment or experienced crocheters craving a relaxing project. The cropped length adds a trendy touch, but the pattern also includes instructions for lengthening both the body and sleeves to fit your preferences.

Notes

You’ll begin by working the neckline ribbing, then move on to the yoke. After completing the yoke, you’ll separate the body and sleeves. Continue working on the body, finishing with the sleeves afterward.

Ch 1 doesn’t count as a stitch.

Instructions for adjusting the length of the sweater and the length of the sleeve can be found in the sections for the body and the sleeve.

Working with one strand of yarn on the neckline ribbing and two strands of yarn on body and sleeves.
