My favorite time of year is nearly upon us and I can’t tell you how happy I am about that. I love Fall! I love everything about it from the cozy nights by the fire, to warm hot chocolate drinks to the big over sized comfy sweaters. Just the other day I spotted the first of many golden leaves to fall to the ground and I must say I got super excited!

crochet sweater pattern

To start off my Fall collection I’ve got this super cozy crochet v-neck ribbed sweater. It is designed to be over sized and slightly cropped. Adding more chains to the initial foundation chain will create a longer crochet sweater.

The sweater is designed to work from the side instead of the classic bottom up sweater. This created the ribbed texture throughout the sweater.

The Yarn

The yarn I used for this crochet ribbed sweater was Drops Cotton Light. It is a weight 3 or Dk yarn. It is a polyester/cotton blend and works up beautifully. The stitch definition is stunning and all in all I enjoy working with this yarn.

Of course you are more than welcome to use any yarn fibre that you wish. I think a nice wool blend or even an acrylic yarn would work wonders for the colder months ahead as long as it’s a weight 3 yarn.

Sizes

The sizing guide follows size S(M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL). E.g. “Ch 64(68, 72, 76, 80, 84) means ch 64 for Small, ch 68 for Medium, ch 72 for Large, ch 76 for XL, ch 80 for 2XL and ch 84 for 3XL.

The turning ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch unless otherwise stated.

This pattern uses standard US crochet terms.

Row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc across to end. Turn

Row 2: ch 1, hdc in BLO across. Turn.

Repeat row 2 until you have 32(34, 36, 38, 40, 42) rows completed. You can add more rows here if you want a looser sleeve.

CHANGE TO 4.5mm HOOK

Sc as evenly as possible along the bottom edge of sleeve. Then ch 9.

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 7 chains, slst into next 2 sc (the sc on the main sleeve part). Turn

Row 2 : sc BLO in next 8 sc making sure not to work into the previous 2 slip sts. Turn.

Row 3: ch 1, sc in BLO along next 8 sc, slst in next 2 sts. Turn

Repeat rows 2-3 all the way across the bottom edge of sleeve.

Fasten off.

Assembly:

Lay the front panel on top of the back panel and using your yarn needle stitch across the two shoulders.

Next lay your piece out flat. Grab a sleeve and fold it in half lengthwise to find the middle. Place a stitch marker in that stitch, then line it up with the shoulder seam. Attach stitch marker to shoulder seam also. Now stitch sleeve, slightly stretched to the main body. Repeat on the other side

Fold you sweater over and stitch along the underneath of your sleeve and down along the sides of sweater. I stopped stitching just above the ribbed hem, but it’s up to you. Repeat o the other side.

Next turn your sweater right side out.

With your 5mm hook attach yarn to the centre of your v neck. Ch 1, and sc evenly around the entire neckline. Slst to first sc to close.

CHANGE TO 4.5mm HOOK

Row 1: Ch 6, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 4 chains, slst in next 2 sc (the sc on the neckline). Turn

Row 2: sc in BLO into next 5 sc BLO. Turn

Row 3: ch 1, sc BLO in next 5 sc, sl st in next 2 sc (the sc on the neckline). Turn.

Repeat rows 2-3 all the way around the neckline.

When you reach all the way around fasten off leaving a long tail. Insert your tail into a yarn needle. Grab one side of the neck ribbing and fold it over the other side so it’s laying across the seam of the other side. I think it’s best to follow the video tutorial to have a grasp as to what I mean!

Weave in all ends and you are finished your crochet v neck ribbed sweater.

    What do you mean by Gauge: 42 square = 16 sts x 9 rows? I’ve never seen a gauge without inches or a measurement listed.

      Hi, I kinda wondered what it means in the beginning but I think it probably means 4″ x 4″ = 16 sts x 9 rows. This worked well with my gauge.

    Why is the front panel 55 rows for a 2x and it says 80 rows for back panel? Shouldn’t they be the Same? Is this a mistake in print?

    The last part of the front panel where it says chain 14 and so on is very confusing. It is a little extra piece which I don’t know what to do with it

    Had to calculate finished size comparing guage to stitches per size, and based on that, sized down quite a bit for a more fitted sweater. Love it!

    Hi there! Just wanted to suggest that you add a stitch counter for each row. The front panel was challenging as I kept misaligning the v neck. Row 1 and Row 72 (large) just did not meet up. If there were a stick counter at the end to tell me how many stitches there should be, I think it would be easier. Lovely pattern! Really enjoyed making it!
