AVAILABLE IN SIZES XS - 5X!!
The Sylvan Sweater is a lightweight beginner-friendly crochet sweater perfect for transitioning between seasons! With luxurious medium-weight yarn, open stitches, and shorter sleeves, this sweater will take you from the start of fall through the cold weather months.

The Sylvan Sweater is crocheted starting from the bottom of the panels and features a squishy ribbing for the hemline. The main body of the sweater is crocheted directly onto the ends of the ribbing rows and the front panel is finished with shaping rows to create a scooped neckline. 3/4 length sleeves are crocheted separately and then seamed onto the armholes and are meant to be open and roomy. The sweater’s fit is meant to be relaxed and comfortable, and the open stitches keep this lightweight crochet sweater from being too heavy or stiff.

The PDF pattern has clear instructions and a photo tutorial for every step; the photos are separate from the written instructions so you can choose not to print them to save printer ink.

GAUGE:
• 19 stitches X 16 rows (8 hdc rows/8 ch3-sp rows) = 4 inches
