This basic crocheted pullover is made all in one piece and with no sewing. The body is worked from the bottom up, while the sleeves are picked up at the shoulder and worked from the top down. The sweater starts with foundation double crochet and alternates between being worked in the round and flat. The shaping is very basic. I like this henley neck sweater shape because it is so simple to do while also resulting in a comfortable fit. Worked in sport weight yarn and a size G (4 mm) hook, the resulting fabric has a lovely drape without being too heavy. Instructions are provided for newborn, 3, 6, and 12 month sizes.
