Squish It Sweater

The Squish-it Sweater is a lightweight oversized cropped jumper with gentle shoulder shaping and a round neckline. Made side-to-side with a vertical rib stitch, the boxy, short sleeves reach to the elbow because of the oversized body.

This is a fairly basic crochet sweater pattern, made in just two pieces, requiring knowledge of basic crochet stitches, techniques and terminology.

The pattern uses post stitches crocheted in rows.

You will need approximately 360(380, 420, 500, 540, 580, 640, 690, 730) metres of mega mohair double knit (or equivalent yarn which meets gauge), a 12 mm crochet hook and 4 stitch markers.

The yarn used in the sample is ‘Mamie and Florrie', Mega mohair DK, 78% Kid Mohair, 13% Wool, 9% Nylon. A similar yarn from a more widely available brand is Rico Design Fashion Mohair Merino Chunky. I have offered a lot of guidance for yarn substitutions in the pattern.

The pattern is written in English using standard US crochet terms.
