I am so excited to share my very first pattern with you! This sweater came to me in a fever dream while stuck in bed with the flu. I’m a huge fan of oversized chunky grandpa sweaters. I changed this to a grandMA sweater and named it after my grandmother who taught me to crochet. As a baby I couldn’t say “Abuela,” so I called her “Abu” and the name stuck.
I hope this beginner sweater keeps you comfy and cozy!
