Crochet Basketweave Sweater

Learn how to make this quick and easy crochet basketweave sweater. If you are a lover of sweaters with lots of texture this easy crochet sweater will definitely not disappoint.

The stitch that I used reminds me of the knit basketweave stitch, and consists of just front post double crochets and back post double crochets.

This crochet sweater pattern is accompanied with a step by step video tutorial. Please scroll down to view it.

This crochet sweater is made up of a back panel, a front panel and two identical sleeves. Once each piece is made we will sew together with some yarn and a yarn needle.

Each panel and sleeve is worked from the bottom up, beginning with the ribbed hem or sleeve cuff. We will then crochet along the long edge of the ribbing.

Once all the pieces are crochet and stitched together we will the crochet the ribbed neckline. Easy peasy!

YARN

**This post contains affiliated links for which I make a small commission. It is no charge to you but it does help me out and makes shopping easier for you**

The yarn I used for this crochet sweater was Stylecraft Special Aran with wool in the shade Duck Egg. This yarn is a weight 4 acrylic/wool blend and comes in many shades. The color I chose is a beautiful blue tone with gorgeous flecks of blacks, creams and beiges.

Stylecraft Special Aran can be machine washed and put into a cool tumble dry setting. Perfect in my opinion.

NOTES

• The sizing guide is S(M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL).

SEWING IT ALL TOGETHER:

Lay your back panel on a flat surface and place the front panel on top of it. With your yarn and yarn needle sew across the shoulders stitching the two panels together.

Next lay the entire piece out flat with the wrong side facing you. Grab a sleeve and mark the middle stitch with a stitch marker. Line this marker up with the shoulder seam and connect the two pieces together. Sew together. Repeat for the other sleeve.

Now fold the sweater over and sew along the edge of the sleeve and down along the sides of the sweater.

Turn the sweater right side out now.

Attach yarn to the side of the neck hole. I like to connect it near the shoulder seam.

Round 1: ch 1, sc all the way around the entire neck hole. Slst to the first sc to close the round.

Round 2: ch 8, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 6 chains, slst into next 2 sc (on the neck hole), *turn, skip 2 slsts, sc in BLO in next 7 sc, turn, ch 1, sc in next 7 sc BLO, slst into next 2 sc on neck hole, rep from * all the way around the entire neck hole. Fasten off leaving a long tail. With your yarn and yarn needle, sew the two ends of the ribbed neckline together. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

You are now done making your crochet sweater. Enjoy
