Brimstone Sweater by Michelle Ferguson
What Is Being Made
The Brimstone Sweater is an intermediate-level crochet garment designed by Michelle Ferguson. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating a fitted pullover sweater available in five sizes ranging from extra-small to extra-large, with bust measurements from 28-30 inches up to 44-46 inches. The sweater is worked using worsted weight yarn in quantities that vary by size, from 808 yards for the smallest size to 1320 yards for the largest.
Crochet Techniques Used
The Brimstone Sweater employs fundamental crochet construction methods suitable for an intermediate skill level. The pattern utilizes foundation single crochet as a starting technique, with subsequent shaping and structure built through traditional crochet methods. The sweater is constructed in rounds, with the initial rounds establishing a circular diameter of approximately 9¾ inches. Back loop only stitching is incorporated into the pattern, which creates textural variation and definition in the finished garment.
Stitches Used
The pattern calls for several essential crochet stitches to complete the design:
- Foundation Single Crochet (fsc) – used to establish the initial foundation with a gauge of 12 fsc over 4 inches
- Single Crochet (sc) – a basic stitch used throughout the construction
- Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog) – employed for decreasing and shaping the garment
- Double Crochet (dc) – used within the sweater body, with a gauge of 12 dc across 9 rows measuring 4 inches
- Puff Stitch – a decorative stitch created by yarning over, inserting the hook into a stitch, pulling up a loop, and repeating this process to create a textured, dimensional effect
Materials Required
The Brimstone Sweater pattern specifies worsted weight (#4) yarn in quantities dependent on the chosen size. The sample shown in the pattern was created using Lion Brand Jeans Yarn in Vintage, demonstrating the color and yarn type used in the original design. An I/9 (5.5mm) crochet hook is required to achieve the specified gauge, though crafters should verify their personal gauge and adjust hook size as needed. Additional materials include scissors, a measuring tape for checking dimensions and fit, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and a stitch marker for tracking rounds and pattern repeats.
Sizing Information
The pattern accommodates multiple sizes with the following specifications:
- XS: 28-30" bust – 808 yards
- S: 32-34" bust – 900 yards
- M: 36-38" bust – 1000 yards
- L: 40-42" bust – 1300 yards
- XL: 44-46" bust – 1320 yards
Gauge Information
Achieving proper gauge is essential for the Brimstone Sweater to fit correctly. The pattern specifies a gauge of 12 foundation single crochet stitches over 4 inches when slightly stretched. Within the sweater body itself, the gauge is 12 double crochet stitches by 9 rows over 4 inches. Crocheters should swatch before beginning to ensure their tension matches these specifications and adjust their hook size accordingly.
