(You can choose your own colours of course, this is just what I did)
The yarn I used is called Briggs Little Heritage, it’s a 2 ply 100% natural wool. I used 2.5 skeins
of each colour. (Each skein is 4 oz. 113g, 215 yards). If you don’t like wool I suggest Red Heart
Super Saver acrylic yarn.
As for hook size I used a 5mm crochet hook.
There’s 7 parts to this sweater, the front body, the back body, the 2 arms, the 2 arm cuffs and the
bottom base cuff.
First we we start with the back body (make 1). You need to make the back body first because
you’re going to base the front off of how large the back is so please ensure it’s the correct size
for your body. A good tip that I always do is compare my pieces to a sweater that already fits me.
(For this pattern I copied a men’s large sweater I thrifted)
