Stylecraft Knit Me Crochet Me Pattern 10042 – Crochet Sweater and Tunic (Downloadable PDF)

Pattern 10042 from Stylecraft is a downloadable PDF featuring two crochet designs: a classic Crochet Sweater and a longer Crochet Tunic, both worked in Stylecraft Knit Me, Crochet Me DK yarn. The pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty and is generously sized, covering six sizes from 81/86 cm (32/34 in) up to 132/137 cm (52/54 in) bust, making it an inclusive choice for a wide range of figures. Both garments share the same elegant stitch construction and differ primarily in finished length, giving crocheters the flexibility to choose the silhouette that suits them best.

Design 1 – Crochet Sweater

What Is Being Made

The Crochet Sweater is a wearable, everyday pullover with a structured yet relaxed fit. The actual bust measurement ranges from 93 cm (36¾ in) for the smallest size up to 146 cm (57½ in) for the largest, providing comfortable ease across all sizes. The full length of the sweater measures approximately 60–73 cm (23¾–28¾ in) depending on size, and the sleeve length is approximately 46–48 cm (18–19 in).

Techniques Used

• Foundation chain construction – the front and back pieces begin with a long foundation chain, with stitches worked directly into the chain to establish the fabric width
• Treble fan stitch pattern – a repeating motif of (3tr, 2ch, 3tr) clusters worked into 2-chain spaces creates an open, lace-influenced fabric with excellent drape
• Flat panel construction – the garment is worked in flat rows, with separate front, back, and sleeve panels that are seamed together to finish
• Turning chains – a 3-chain turning chain counts as the first treble throughout, a standard intermediate crochet technique that keeps edges neat and consistent

Stitches Used

• Treble crochet (tr) – the primary stitch, forming the fan clusters that make up the main fabric
• Chain stitch (ch) – used for the foundation chain, turning chains, and the 2-chain spaces at the heart of each fan repeat
• Slip stitch – used at the start of the foundation row and for joining where required

Materials

• Yarn: Stylecraft Knit Me, Crochet Me in DK weight
• Hook: 4 mm crochet hook

Design 2 – Crochet Tunic

What Is Being Made

The Crochet Tunic is a longer version of the sweater design, offering additional coverage and a relaxed, flowing silhouette that works beautifully over leggings or slim trousers. The full length of the tunic measures approximately 75–88 cm (29½–34¾ in) across the size range, making it significantly longer than the sweater counterpart. The same generous actual bust measurements apply — from 93 cm to 146 cm — and sleeve lengths remain consistent at 46–48 cm (18–19 in).

Techniques Used

• Foundation chain construction – identical in approach to the sweater, with the number of chains determining the width of each panel
• Treble fan stitch pattern – the same (3tr, 2ch, 3tr) fan repeat is used throughout, meaning the tunic is achieved simply by working additional rows of the established pattern rather than introducing new shaping techniques
• Flat panel construction – front, back, and sleeve panels are worked separately in
