Looking for a crochet sweater that truly hugs your shape and looks just like knit ribbing? The Ridge Sideways Sweater is a technical, side-to-side sweater that combines the best of both worlds: mock 2x2 rib, real raglan shaping, and perfectly shaped bust darts for a made-to-measure fit. Designed especially for bodies with breasts, this pattern is all about celebrating curves and achieving that “just right” fitted silhouette, no matter your size or yarn choice.

With its clever sideways construction and true raglan decreases, you’ll get the look and feel of a tailored knit sweater, all in crochet. The pattern guides you through every step, with detailed increase/decrease tables and a full video walkthrough to support you on this advanced journey. Whether you choose DK, bulky, or even fingering weight yarn, the Ridge Sideways Sweater adapts to your vision and your measurements for a result that’s as rewarding as it is unique.

A year in the making, this labor of love is for adventurous makers ready to level up their crochet and create a sweater that fits like a dream.

MAE TO MEASURE
Read more here!
A Mae to Measure pattern is an interactive, PDF 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. Just note, this pattern is made for people with breasts.

EASE
This pattern has no ease, as it’s meant to be fitted to your body perfectly.

DIFFICULTY
Advanced - this is a difficult pattern
