*This pattern is available in US and UK crochet terms. Once you purchase the pattern you will have the option to download either pattern format.

In the pattern will find 3 options for sleeve lengths:
1) short sleeve
2) 3/4 sleeve
3) long sleeve

This piece doesn’t have any shaping. It is made in 4 panels, 2 identical sleeves, and 2 identical body panels.

I designed this piece using the Lion Brand JEANS yarn for its smooth acrylic texture and elasticity.

Please note the gauge is based on 1” squared and for 1 “stitch” you will complete a combination of (DC – CH 1 – SC + SKIP 2, DC).

This sweater top is more fitted to the body, so if you are a tighter crocheter I highly recommend going up to a higher size or two.

If you are of a taller frame (longer arms and/or torso) it would be easy to adjust the pattern by adding on 3 rows per additional inch.
