Crochet sweater top ( Written pattern & Tutorial )

This crochet sweater pattern is made in two panels, so it’s simple and easy to make. The pattern shown is made in a US women’s size S.

It’s a simple pullover sweater but I love the design. You could even make a sort of winter dress, you’d just make more rows. Hope you enjoy!

Sew the sweater together

Take the front and back panel, lay your sweater correct side facing each other and start sewing on the wrong side from the bottom side of the sweater and all the way up to the arm pit and continue sewing the bottom of the sleeve with the tails that you left earlier, using method of choice. I like to use my yarn needle for sewing.

Sew the top sleeve

I sew my top sleeve 47 stitches on each side and leave 26 stitches open for the neck area, if you want your neck hole bigger or smaller you need to sew less or more then 47 stitches on each side but make sure that both sides are even.
