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.

Por tus enseñanzas, Gracias.
I love this pattern, crochet forget-me-not sweater. It’s lovely. I’ve subscribed and think you have among the easiest and most attractive crochet patterns on Youtube.
My question has to do with measurements. It sure would be helpful if you could measure your pieces when finished and let us know the horizontal and vertical measurements, as well as the sleeve lengths. This way we can determine how to gauge and size the garments more easily.
Again, many thanks for your hard work and beautiful designs.
Is there a way to.print the pattern. Please?
I always copy and paste into a word document.
Just click the three dots at the top right of your computer screen, and select “print”. 🙂
Hi! This is a beautiful sweater and I would very much like to make it. However I am vision impaired and need to enlarge the print and make it darker. My spouse usually does this for me but has said she is unable to print out this pattern. Do you have any suggestions?
