DIFFICULTY LEVEL/SKILLS REQUIRED

Difficulty: Intermediate

You will need to know the following techniques:

Half Double Crochet in the back loop only
SC BLO Ribbing
HDC decrease
Whip stitch (to sew pieces together)
Crochet in the round

GAUGE

19 stitches and 12 rows of half double crochet using a 4.5 mm hook = 4”x 4” swatch

MATERIALS
YARN

Any color combination of weight 3 yarn. For a sweater with lots of drape, I would recommend something with a low-twist such as bamboo yarn. (Bamboo yarn tends to split, however, and can be difficult to work with).

The yardage will vary per person, since this pattern is made-to-measure. To make an XL, I used approximately 2000 yards.
