Materials

• YARN: DROPS Safran, color 64, yarn group A.
• Hook:  5 mm/ US H-8, 4 mm/G-6
• Yarn Needle, Scissors, Measuring Tape

Of course you are more than welcome to use any yarn fiber that you wish. I think a nice wool blend or even an acrylic yarn would work wonders for the colder months ahead as long as it’s a sport weight yarn.

Specialty Stitch & Technique Key

• Invisible seam for sewing together the sleeve and body ribbing. Start with the right side facing you and hold the beginning and the end of the ribbing together so that the V`s of both sides are facing you. With a tail that you left from finishing the ribbing go ( with a yarn needle) from behind the outside V loop of the end of the ribbing  and under the outside V loop of the beginning of the ribbing. Continue going from the outside of the V loop on the other side (end) and under the outside V loop of the beginning. 

Notes

• The sweater is made of two panels (front and back).
• After sewing the panels together, crochet the ribbing on the sleeves.
• Dc stitches are worked in the space between stitches not under the V as usually. 
• Crochet with a 5 mm / H-8 hook unless the instructions are for a different hook size.
• Ch2 never counts as a stitch.
• I recommend you attach new yarn on the edges because that way the ends won’t peak through the holes of the body and sleeves.

Assembling

Sew the shoulders (and sleeve) together with a sl st.

With a blanket stitch sew together the sleeve and sides of the body.

Ribbing 

Sc around the sleeve hole – 2 sc in each dc row. >140 sc<

Slst to join. Do not cut off yarn!

Ch16 with a 4 mm hook.

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from the hook and across. >15 sc<

Row 2: slst in next 3 sts from the sc row (starting in the st where you chained 16), turn, sk the 3 slsts and sc blo in next 14 sts, sc in the last st. >15 sc<

Row 3: ch1, turn. Sc in 1st st, sc blo in next 14 sts. Slst in next 3 sts of sc row. >15 sc<

Repeat row 2 and 3 until row 91 when you have only 2 sts left to get around – slst in next 2 sts, sc blo in next 14 sts, sc in the last st. That is together 92 rows (the number of rows must be even!). Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew the beginning and the end of the ribbing together so that the right side is facing you (see the video attached).

Neckline

Start where you started the decreases for the neck hole – sc2tog (in 2 sts where you started the decreases for the v neck), 2 sc in each dc row. When you get to the other side (the front), sc2tog and continue with 2 sc in each dc row. Join with a slst at the end and finish off.

Weave in all the ends and you are finished with your crochet v neck sweater.
