Notes:
– This pattern is written in US terms
– Magic Ring or Ch 5 and join.
– Ch 3 at beginning of row counts as first dc.
– You can substitute any other weight 4 yarn
– The basic square should not go beyond your shoulder line.
– The sweater is designed to be on the body, not lose. It’s important that the top part of the sweater, the angle that is more open (the granny squares part with the holes) do not go lower than your bra.
– Sleeves are designed to be not baggy.
– The pattern is coming with a video tutorial available on my youtube channel YelenaStyleCrochet.
