The Rudolph Sweater - crochet pattern

Beschrijving

This Christmas crochet sweater pattern is the perfect cosy jumper to get you into the festive spirit. It’s oversized and feels like wearing a hug, although you can always size down if you don’t like that slouchy look! This pattern was born after I came out with the knitted version. My online community asked HARD for a crochet version and I couldn’t say no! I’m so glad I went with it because this has to be my most favourite design yet.

This crochet pattern is suitable for advanced beginners / intermediate knitters. You need to know techniques such as colour work (I used the intarsia method), decrease stitches, seaming and half double crochet. If you do get stuck there is a link to a video tutorial inside.

This festive crochet pattern has available sizes from 2XS - 2XL, suitable for bust sizes 24 - 50”

There are photos included throughout the pattern to help you along the way.
