TEXTURED CROCHET SWEATER PATTERN AVAILABLE FOR SIZES XS - 5X!
Meet your new go-to sweater this spring - The Daisy Chain Sweater! It’s the kind of lightweight layer that makes spring feel effortless. Worked in a breathable DK‑weight cotton blend, it brings together gentle texture and a relaxed, feminine silhouette—complete with a wide neckline, ribbed hem, and delicately detailed sleeve cuffs. Designed as a true transitional piece, it adds just the right amount of warmth for those in‑between days when the air shifts from cool to mild and you want something pretty, polished, and easy to throw on as the seasons change.

The sweater is a simple construction consisting of two identical panels for the main body that are then seamed together at the shoulders and sides.  Shaping rows at the shoulders provide additional room for the generously wide neckline before adding the textured rows across the top of the panel. There are no increase/decrease rows for the sleeves, they are the same width from the cuff to the armhole.  The sleeves are finished with simple detailing to slightly cinch in the cuffs and provide a beautiful detail. The pattern is easily customizable in the length of the panels and the sleeves.

The PDF pattern has clear instructions and a photo tutorial for every step; the photos are separate from the written instructions at the back of the PDF so you can choose not to print them to save printer ink and zoom in to see the detail when viewing them on your device.
