The Squish-it Sweater is a lightweight oversized cropped jumper with gentle shoulder shaping and a round neckline. Made side-to-side with a vertical rib stitch, the boxy, short sleeves reach to the elbow because of the oversized body.

Skills Used:
This is a fairly basic crochet sweater pattern, made in just two pieces, requiring knowledge of basic crochet stitches, techniques and terminology.
You will be crocheting in rows with simple increases and decreases.
The pattern uses post stitches crocheted in rows. Experience working with post stitches would be a benefit but tutorials for the stitches are included in the pattern (written and video)

Materials
You will need approximately 360(380, 420, 500, 540, 580, 640, 690, 730) metres of mega mohair double knit (or equivalent yarn which meets gauge), a 12 mm crochet hook and 4 stitch markers.
The yarn used in the sample is ‘Mamie and Florrie’, Mega mohair DK, 78% Kid Mohair, 13% Wool, 9% Nylon, 100g = 200m. Shade: Swizzles Factory
A similar yarn from a more widely available brand is Rico Design Fashion Mohair Merino Chunky.

Because this is a more unusual yarn, I have offered a lot of guidance for yarn substitutions in the pattern, including a video where I share various different yarns I swatched with.

Size
The sweater is designed to be cropped and boxy with short sleeves. It’s oversized in the body with around 25-30cm of positive ease. The crochet pattern is offered in 9 adult sizes for women’s standard sizes XS-5XL, with a finished bust size from 105cm-191cm.
Guidance on making adjustments to the sizing is included in the pattern.
