Ron took the photo for me, so thanks to him for that. This is the first really wearable sweater I have ever made...working from the top down is SO much easier.....no seams and you can make it any length you want. I made mine with 3/4 length sleeves because I dont like long sleeve sweaters. I used Caron Country in Renaissance Rose. Check out the pattern and give it a try. I find it runs big so if you make it, use the yoke as a guide for size....if it seems too wide, use a smaller hook. I did a gauge swatch, thought it was right, but the stitch pattern made the yarn VERY stretchy. :)
Crochet, Away!

WHat a beautiful sweater you created. i lOvE it. Is that a washable yarn? Acrylic? I have so many wool allergies I am always looking for an acrylic that knits up well. I hope your is...I would go and buy that yarn...
Thanks, Kathy! I wish I could say it was all acrylic but its Caron Country....an acrylic/wool blend. However, I have problems with wool too, which is why I am wearing it over a long sleeve top....but I like the yarn. I will have to wear it over something. But the original pattern calls for Simply Soft, which IS 100% acrylic. You can also use Caron Spa, which is acrylic and bamboo. There are lots of yarns you can substitute. I hope you give it a try. :)
It came out really nice! It looks cozy.
