This sweater is a great transition piece. The mesh provides cool ventilation along with the super modern wide sleeves. We wanted it to be something we could throw over our shorts during summer nights or when the temperature drops on crisp fall days…so we selected a slighter warmer and thicker yarn.

We are also thinking of making this in a lighter cotton to wear in the day. If you have been following our blog you probably know we take the time to write all our patterns as made to measure…which means you can be flexible on gauge and easily switch up a different weight yarn. We also believe that made to measure patterns are truly size inclusive…because size inclusive doesn’t just mean providing sizes from XS to 5XL…it means accommodating for a person with an XL wrist size, a Large shoulder to shoulder cross back measurement and an XS chest size (yes that would be us).

The Summer to Fall Wide Sleeve Crochet Sweater is a light mesh sweater. It features a slightly oversized design and long sleeves that flare out wider at the bottom. There is no ribbing on the sleeves and base. The neckline is a simple ribbed crew neck. The stitches used to create the mesh are simple and beginner friendly. We used a weight 4 yarn that is slightly thicker to take us into the fall months. However you could crochet this in a lighter cotton as this is a made to measure pattern and can accommodate for different gauges.
