This crochet pattern is in English.

This listing is a PDF CROCHET PATTERN for the Lemonade Sweater, NOT a finished item. It is written in U.S. standard crochet terms.

ABOUT THE PATTERN AND DESIGN
Worked flat and from the bottom up, the Lemonade Sweater is a beginner friendly pattern that walks you through every single step of the sweater-making process. The pattern features extensive written instructions, step-by-step photos, as well as an hour long video tutorial bookmarked at each stage of the pattern. The instructions also customization tips on how to adjust your sweater if you want to make the body shorter or longer than the instructions call for. The entire sweater is made up of only 3 stitches making it accessible to beginners, but features a compound stitch pattern for a visually interesting fabric.
