Crochet Forget Me Not Sweater

I named this crochet summer sweater the Forget Me Not Sweater because the stitches I used throughout the sweater reminded me of little of forget me not flowers!

This crochet sweater pattern is easy, beginner friendly and quite quick to work up. It is made using two identical T shaped pieces that are seamed together. Easy peasy!

YARN USED:

The yarn I used for this crochet summer sweater was Drops Cotton Light. This yarn is a cotton and polyester blend giving the sweater a light and cool feel, perfect for lovely summer weather.
