Every stitch deserves the right yarn! 🧶 I’ve gathered some of the best yarns and tools in my Amazon shop. Come browse and see what sparks your creativity. 🤎

Yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape, and stitch markers.

Hook(s)

3.5 mm

Use the hook size recommended for your yarn as a starting point. Make a swatch and try different hook sizes until you achieve a fabric you like.

Not critical. This is a made-to-measure pattern, so you'll adjust the measurements based on your body.

You'll use your own body measurements to customize the fit.

This is a made-to-measure pattern. The instructions guide you through adjusting the sweater to fit your measurements.

ch/s = chain/s
dc = double crochet
dc blo = double crochet back loop only
dc flo = double crochet front loops only
fpdc = front post double crochet
hsc = herringbone single crochet
hsc blo = herringbone single crochet back loop only
RS = right side
sc = single crochet
slst = slip stitch
st/s = stitch/es
WS = wrong side

Foundation double crochet

Step 1: Start with a slip knot, then chain 2. This ch 2 will act as the ch 2 you normally see at the beginning of rows of double crochet, it’s what gives you the height for the stitches, and in the case of the fdc, it acts as an anchor for your first stitch.
Step 2: Next, turn your work so that you are looking at the back bumps of your chains. Yarn over, then insert your hook into the very first chain you made, and pull up a loop.
Step 3: Chain 1. This creates the bottom chain of your fdc.
Step 4: Next, yarn over and complete a double crochet as usual.
Step 5: Yo, insert your hook under the bottom “V” of the ch 1 from the previous fdc, pull up a loop, and repeat Steps 3 and 4.

Repeat Step 5 for as many stitches as your pattern requires.

Herringbone single crochet (ribbing)

Begin with any number of chains.

Row 1 (working in the back bumps of the chain): sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, insert the hook in the left leg of the sc just made and through the back bump of the next ch and pull up a loop, yo and pull through all three loops on the hook. Continue working herringbone single crochet (hsc) across.
Row 2: ch 1, turn. Sc blo in the 1st st, insert the hook into the left leg of the sc just made and through the back loop of the next st and pull up a loop, yo and pull through all three loops on the hook. Continue working herringbone single crochet through the back loop (hsc blo) across.

Repeat row 2 until you reach the desired size.

Alpine stitch (body)

Rows 1-3: Setting up alpine stitch.

Start alpine stitch with any odd number of stitches.

Row 1: dc in the 3rd ch from the hook and across.
Row 2: ch 1, turn. Sc across.
Row 3: ch 2, turn. *fpdc (in 1st row of dcs here and across), dc*; repeat from * to * to the last 2 sts, dc 2.
Row 4: ch 1, turn. Sc across.
Row 5: ch 2, turn. *dc, fpdc*, repeat from * to * to the last st, dc.
Row 6: ch 1, turn. Sc across.

Repeat rows 3–6 to continue the pattern.

This pattern includes a full video tutorial linked on the front page for steps that are easier to show than tell.
You will start by making two panels (front and back) and two sleeves. Join the shoulders, then attach the sleeves. Next, sew the side seams of the body and sleeves. Work the ribbing at the hem. Finally, work the hood directly onto the neckline.
