If you enjoy the feeling of a blanket wrapped around your shoulders at night and want bring that feeling anywhere you go, this is the sweater pattern for you!

The sweater construction is top-down & raglan style for minimal seams to sew and ends to weave in. As the body is made with bulky yarn, this pattern works up quickly.

The pattern calls for 1 ball of Red Heart Dreamy and 3 to 4 balls Red Heart Hygge 8oz, but if the yarn is unavailable in your area don’t worry! Some testers have worked with other yarns and have reported no troubles with substitution when it comes to gauge, but make sure to try it on often while making to ensure you don’t end up with a heavy sweater.

When I designed this sweater I used my own measurements and ran everything through Microsoft Excel to generate the pattern for different sizes. However, not everyone has broad shoulders, small bust, and a rectangle body shape. To help accommodate for other body shapes, along with the written pattern I have provided the sweater “recipe” for crocheters who want the sweater to fit perfectly to their measurements!

Full gauge:

  • Ribbing: 2”x2” is 7 rows of 8 sc BLO
  • Body of Sweater: 2”x2” is 4 rows of 6 alternating hdc/dc (1st row hdc, 2nd row dc, 3rd row hdc, 4th row dc)
