The Cove Sweater is a light and airy crochet pullover with a modern look, perfect for transitioning between seasons. It’s a versatile layering piece with a beautiful drape and an elegant boat neckline. The unique stitch pattern creates a breathable texture that is comfortable to wear and engaging to crochet.

The sweater is constructed from the top down. You will begin by creating the full back panel. The front is then worked directly from the top edge of the back, shaping the neckline with simple increases before joining to work the panel down to its full length. After seaming the sides, the sleeves are crocheted and attached. The pattern is easily customized to your preferred body and sleeve length.
