DESCRIPTION
This cozy crochet sweater was inspired by the warm and earthy colors of a desert sunset. It’s the perfect sweater for any casual occasion and features an oversized fit, cropped length, extra long and comfy straight sleeves, and knit-like ribbing. I can also imagine it being dressed up slightly with a pair of relaxed dress pants, white sneakers, and gold jewelry for a day of shopping or leisurely work at the coffee shop.

NOTE ABOUT THE YARN
Upcycle Alpaca is labeled as a category 4 worsted weight yarn, but I would consider it much closer to a DK. Most true worsted weight yarns will be much too dense and thick for this project. Many DK weight alternatives should work. Also note this yarn is a bit inconsistent/rugged in thickness (notice the slight variation in stripe thickness in photos). Some skeins/colors are thicker or thinner than others, so if choosing to make a solid color in this yarn, gauge could be severely impacted. This is due to the fact that this is an upcycled yarn made from recycled fibers left over from the yarn spinning process, so as little fiber as possible goes to waste. I absolutely loved working with this yarn, but felt this additional information was necessary to note.
