Meet the Nido Crochet Sweater, your new favourite cosy layer! Named after the Spanish word for nest, this beautifully relaxed sweater is all about comfort, gorgeous stripes and the kind of easy, everyday style you’ll want to wear again and again.

Featuring a wonderfully oversized shape and a combination of solid and multicoloured aran weight yarns, the Nido Sweater is a lovely way to let beautiful yarn do the talking. Choose to add the sleeves for a warm and cosy winter sweater, or leave them off to create a sleeveless crochet vest that’s perfect for layering over your favourite tops and shirts.

With nine inclusive sizes from XS to 5XL, an easy skill level and plenty of opportunities to make it your own, this is a wonderfully wearable crochet project that you’ll reach for season after season.
This is a PDF crochet pattern for the Nido Sweater, featuring an oversized silhouette, beautiful stripes and optional sleeves.
