This crochet sweater pattern is just BETTER!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing The Better Sweater (DK weight), a totally unique crochet pattern that produces the softest, slouchiest, most seamless crochet sweater you’ve ever made!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of how beautiful it looks with modern, trendy color blocking and a slouchy dropped shoulder fit with billowy balloon sleeves, the construction of this sweater is what sets it apart from others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet me tell you about just some of the things that make this sweater better…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight weight!\u003cbr\u003e– even while using single crochet, this sweater is light weight and drapey just like a knit sweater! That’s because it uses the “linen stitch,” (aka the moss stitch) which is essentially sc, ch1. Then, on every round, you work 1sc in the ch1 space of the previous round. Making a light, airy, stretchy fabric that perfectly mimics knitting with crochet!\u003cbr\u003eNo seam!\u003cbr\u003e– well, you will have a small gap to seam in the underarms when you’re done. But specifically, what I mean is that there is no slip stitch “seam” from joining the ends of your rounds. Because, this whole pattern is worked in a spiral! No visible seams!\u003cbr\u003eNo tight foundation chains\u003cbr\u003e– No need to worry about a tight sleeve or neckline. There are no foundation chains around any of the openings of this sweater! This is due to its unique bottom-up construction.\u003cbr\u003eSo, is it beginner friendly? Not exactly. This pattern will have a few accompanying video tutorials that will help demonstrate some of the more unique parts of the pattern, like joining the sleeves to the body and working the round yoke decreases, but you should be comfortable reading patterns, counting stitches, placing markers and confidence working slip stitch ribbing wouldn’t hurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, let’s get into some of the stats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYarn and Hook:\u003cbr\u003eThis is the DK weight (category 3) or light weight yarn version of the pattern which uses a 4mm crochet hook. If you’re looking for the worsted weight version of this pattern, you can find it in my shop!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitch Markers:\u003cbr\u003eYou’ll also need about 12 stitch markers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes:\u003cbr\u003eYou’ll get two PDFs for this pattern. One with the child sizes (2-3T, 4-6yrs and 8-10yrs) and one with the adult sizes (S, M, L, XL, 2XL). The finished bust measurements for the adult sizes are 40, 44, 48, 54 and 60 inches respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo checkout the playlist of helpful videos for this pattern, head to my YouTube channel!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"class-section first-class-section  u-mb-20\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"section-title\"\u003eShare your project made with this product!\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDid you make something using this product?
