This does not include yarn for a gauge swatch.

Crochet hook

5 mm (US size: H/8, UK/Canada size 6) - or the hook size required to obtain the gauge below.

Gauge

16 sts x 17 rows = 10 x 10 cm (2.5” x 2.5”) in bl sc in the round.

Note

When you make multiple pattern repeats, like for the front part, it will have another gauge than the rest of the sweater. The pattern repeats are typically shorter and wider, which will affect the shape of the final piece. This is also reflected in the final measurements of the body width compared to the gauge. If you don’t like a sweater that is a bit shorter in the front, you can relatively easily pull the center front part a bit longer than usual when you block the final work.

Construction

The sweater is worked from the top down and in the round. This makes it easy for you to adjust the lengths of sleeves and the body for a perfect fit for you. The ribbing is then crocheted onto the sweater.
