Puffed bishop sleeves gather into snug ribbed cuffs on this olive crochet sweater, keeping all the volume at your forearms. Two strands of thin acrylic on a 5 mm hook and panels worked top down from the neckline chain cover sizes small through XL. Bishop sleeves give a crochet sweater a sculptural quality that plain…
Chunky green yarn and a top down yoke let you try the raglan crochet sweater on as it grows, then stop at a cropped hem or keep working rounds for full length. Fewer increase rows shrink the same easy raglan pattern into a kids sweater. Raglan shaping is one of the most satisfying constructions to…
From a single magic ring, each body panel grows like an oversized granny square until Row 14 sets up the boat neckline. Self-striping size 3 cake yarn on a 4 mm hook supplies the color shifts, so you work the whole toddler sweater without stopping for stripe changes. The body and sleeves of this sweater…
Measure across your shoulders, add 2 inches, and that width sets both mesh rectangles for a cropped cardigan sized entirely to you. Daisies made from doubled chunky yarn on an 8 mm hook go on last, and you can sew or tie them anywhere on the body or sleeves. The flowers do most of the…
Layering over a camisole on warm days suits the open mesh, and the bell sleeves bring the drama. Sized for a medium off an 18 inch shoulder, the pattern uses Robin acrylic on a 4.5 mm hook and joins the panels 6 inches below the shoulder for roomy armholes. Everything about this top is designed…
Fifty chains start the extra small size of this sweater vest with collar, and two matching panels carry it up to 2X. Eight rows of hdc, with an increase at each end, build the collar off the neck edge, while a smaller hook firms up the contrast ribbing. A polo collar on a sleeveless vest…
Sewn on during finishing, small pearl beads dot the white granny-shell collar of this purple toddler dress, which starts from an 80-chain yoke on a 3 mm hook. Plan on roughly 200 g of purple wool and 60 g of white, plus small buttons for the back placket. Adding a collar transforms a plain sweater…
Contrast yarn on a smaller 4.0 mm hook trims the Peter Pan collar and cuffs, while the body works up in acrylic on a 4.5 mm hook. V-stitch increases grow the collar row by row, and a scallop edge finishes the front openings for a polished, feminine look. Olive green yarn and an open lace…
Every collar row adds a V-stitch at each outer edge, so the white trim spreads into a rounded Peter Pan shape over just a few rows. Underneath, a heart stitch body, V-neck decreases and gathered ruffle cuffs make this crochet cardigan with collar an intermediate project. Red yarn and a white peter pan collar make…
