A soft, relaxed sweater you will reach for again and again. The Softspoken Sweater is a v neck crochet sweater pattern with a gently rounded neckline and quiet ribbed details at the collar, cuffs and hem, so it feels polished without trying too hard.

It is an easy crochet sweater pattern worked mostly in plain double crochet, which makes it a calm, satisfying project and a lovely first garment. The oversized fit is cozy and flattering, and with sizes from XS to 5XL it is a plus size crochet sweater pattern too.
