The Everglade Sweater is a Mae to Measure, Tunisian crochet pattern designed to give you a custom fit using your exact body measurements! With a seamless top-down raglan construction and a beautiful ribbed stitch pattern throughout, this sweater brings cozy texture and clean lines together in one modern make.

You can use any yarn weight for this pattern, letting you create a lightweight layering piece or a warm, chunky pullover depending on your style. The pattern is worked in the round using Tunisian crochet, which can be a bit tricky, but is incredibly rewarding once you get the hang of it.

This is a more advanced project, best for makers who already have some Tunisian crochet experience. Multiple video tutorials are included to help walk you through the complex parts so you can feel confident every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a customizable, textured sweater that makes you feel like a crochet pro, the Everglade Sweater is for you.

MAE TO MEASURE
Read more here!
A Mae to Measure pattern is an interactive, made-to-measure pattern that calculates the number of stitches, rows, and yardage for a pattern. The benefit of a Mae to Measure pattern is that it makes your pattern size inclusive to virtually any body size (theoretically, it should even work for an infant!) This is done by allowing the user to type in their body’s measurements onto your pattern. Then, in the background, the pattern will calculate all the math within the pattern to fit the person perfectly.

SIZES
Virtually any size! Since it calculates your measurements using your body’s measurements, this pattern will work for everyone.

EASE
The pattern has a built-in ease of +4”/10cm in the body and +2”/5cm in the sleeves.
