This sweater was made in-the-round from top-down. The circular yoke was shaped by 4 rounds of increasing on the upper half of the yoke. Stitches were further increased to make up the arms and body right before the underarms. The underarms were then cast-on & the body was crocheted down to desired length. The garment was finished with crab stitch. I chose no ease to about 1” of negative ease for the yoke & about 2” of negative ease for the body for a fitted look.

This written pattern assumes that you know the basics of crocheting. It is a condensed pattern for you to modify according to your measurements & design preferences, using your gauge.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate.
