Say hello to Walter, it is NO-SEW & super versatile crochet pattern that will be your staple spring, summer, fall and winter outfit.
With easy and repetitive stitch, this sweater will work up in no time, definitely the perfect soothing project for netflix & chill (or podcast & chill)
And, as it is constructed top to bottom without sewing, you can try the wip as you crochet to easily adjust all the length.
You can decide if you want to make full length sweater, shrug, crop top, or even a dress while trying on the piece as you crochet!

About this pattern:
• Pattern is written in English with standard US terms.
• As I am a right-handed, this pattern is written with right-handed crocheters in mind, left-handed crocheters should crochet in different direction.
• This pattern is suitable for beginner crocheters, it has zero sewing and made up from basic stitches

About this sweater
• This sweater is UNISEX, the calculator will work for men’s or women’s size (it will also works for child or teen sizes)
• This sweater does not require any sewing; it is crocheted continuously, adding new rows to the existing piece.
• This sweater will have drop shoulder detail
• As it is worked top to bottom (starting from shoulder), you can always add the sleeve length and torso length (to turn it into a dress)

p.s: I know some might say that my written pattern looks so intimidating because of the oh so many pages
and the supplementary calculator. But don’t worry, this long pdf file means there are tons of
step by step picture and diagrams to help you get through it.
++ with the excel spreadsheet, you won’t need to do math, the calculator will do it for you
(because I know, I am not the only one who hate math, and I am not the only one who are just too lazy to match gauge).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A DIGITAL
CROCHET PATTERN AND TUTORIAL ONLY,
NOT A FINISHED ITEM / PRODUCT.
There will be NO physical item, product, material or tools to be send.
All the pattern and instruction is written in English, using standard US terms.

Materials & tools needed:
• ANY YARN WEIGHT WORKS
• Crochet Hook that is the recommended size for your yarn weight and second crochet hook that is one size larger (one size larger means 3.00 mm and 3.50 mm, 4.00mm and 4.50 mm, etc).
• Scissors
• Stitch markers
• Measuring tape / ruler
• 2 or 3 pieces of buttons, diameter 1.8 cm – 2.5 cm (optional)

Yarn usage based on my measurement (bust 81 cm, waist 69 cm)

  • No sleeve (women bust size S): sweater height 45 cm, I used approximately 600 m (200g) of #2 sport weight cotton bamboo blend yarn, used 3.50mm hook
  • Long sleeve (women bust size S): sweater height 45 cm, I used approximately 1050 (350g) m of #2 sport weight cotton bamboo blend yarn, used 3.50mm hook
  • Long sleeve (women bust size S): sweater height 36 cm, I used approximately 135g of #1 fingering weight boucle + mohair yarn, used 4.50mm hook Note: if you use pure cotton yarn, the weight will be doubled as it is heavier than cotton blend and acrylic blend. (How much yarn you required is highly depends on the yarn weight, yarn type, crochet hook size, your tension, bust size, I put the detailed info on how much yarn does each testers used in the lookbook)

Yarn recommendation:

  • Heavier weight yarn will create wider grid, boxier and more constructed piece.
  • Lighter weight yarn will create smaller grid and the drape will be flowy.
  • Please note that fluffy and fuzzy yarn (such as mohair, alpaca, etc) will not be suitable for beginners because it will be harder to see and count the stitches

Crochet hook reference:because this sweater has oversized fit and lounge vibes, you can be more creative with the hook and yarn combination

  • If you want more lacey and airy piece you can choose fingering or sport weight yarn with large hook size – 5.00 mm or 6.00 mm).
  • If you want less transparent piece (less gap, denser stitches) you can choose fingering weight yarn with 2.00 mm – 3.00 mm hook size.
