This sweater has been one of my favorites to work on and one that’s so simple and modern. To me, the best patterns are the ones you can wear every day and that’s what I strive to design.

The v-neck sweater is an eclectic, cropped sweater made for sizes XS to XL. It features puffy sleeve detail and uses double crochet stitches crochet between stitches to create an open, breezy fabric. It’s oversized and can be worn in so many different ways. The v-shaped neckline is wide and gently falls off shoulders when you want to.

Specialty Stitch & Technique Key
Invisible seam for sewing together the sleeve and body ribbing. Start with the right side facing you and hold the beginning and the end of the ribbing together so that the V`s of both sides are facing you. With a tail that you left from finishing the ribbing go ( with a yarn needle) from behind the outside V loop of the end of the ribbing and under the outside V loop of the beginning of the ribbing. Continue going from the outside of the V loop on the other side (end) and under the outside V loop of the beginning.

Notes
The sweater is made of two panels (front and back).
After sewing the panels together, crochet the ribbing on the sleeves.
Dc stitches are worked in the space between stitches not under the V as usually.
Crochet with a 5 mm / H-8 hook unless the instructions are for a different hook size.
Ch2 never counts as a stitch.
I recommend you attach new yarn on the edges because that way the ends won’t peak through the holes of the body and sleeves.
