Learn to crochet this quick and easy crochet Spring mesh sweater. Designed to be slightly slouchy and screaming everything that is Spring/Summer this sweater will be a must have to your wardrobe.

free crochet sweater pattern

This sweater is the ultimate Spring sweater! It can be paired with jeans or shorts, worn over a bikini, or worn with a simple tank top underneath. It truly is a beautiful sweater, and of course it does have that boho vibe to it which I absolutely love.

Made using Drops Paris, a weight 4 cotton yarn. I chose cotton for it breathability and wonderful drape, however you can use any yarn you have in your stash.

This sweater is worked up in four panels, a front, a back and 2 sleeves. Both the front and back panel are worked from the bottom up, beginning with the ribbed hem. The main part of the sleeve is crocheted separately from its ribbed cuff, that is later sewn on. Once all sweater pieces are crocheted and sewn together we will finally work along the neck hole creating a ribbed finish. Easy peasy!

The written pattern comes with an accompanying step by step video tutorial. Please scroll down to view.

      It’s not 4 rows less in the ribbing, it’s 4 rows less in the main body of the work. Your ribbing will be exactly the same as the back but you work the main panel until you have 4 rows less. Then follow the instructions for the final 4 rows which make the shoulder parts and then both pieces should be exactly the same length
      Hope this helps

        Hallo ich bin gerade mit vorder und Rückseite gleich lang. Das mit den 4 Reihen weniger bei Front verstehe ich noch nicht so ganz. Wenn ich deinen Antwort Kommentar betrachte: sehe ich es richtig das in der Höhe von Bündchen beide gleich sein müssen. Aber in der gesamten breite links und rechts bei der Front vier x2 lm weniger gearbeitet werden?

        Gruß Michaela

    This is a great pattern! I just finished making mine last night and I absolutely love it. I’m really tall and it was very easy to adapt the measurements so that the finished thing fit me really well.

    Great pattern. Easy to follow and super quick to crochet too. I used variegated yarn, a mix of cotton & acrylic and it looks really good. I made the cuff bands a bit smaller (tighter) and crocheted the sleeve upwards, which worked well for me.
    So impressed am I that I’ve just started another for my daughter-in-law’s birthday!
    Love your designs and patterns. Thank you so much. Linda
