Saona Twin Set Crochet Pattern by Adriafil – Free Downloadable PDF

The Saona Twin Set is a free crochet pattern by Adriafil that produces a coordinated two-piece set featuring a pullover sweater worked in a colourful, multi-section design. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF and is suited to crocheters who are comfortable working basic shaping techniques such as increases, decreases, and armhole construction. The use of chunky weight yarn and a large hook means the fabric works up quickly, making this an accessible project for those looking to build confidence with garment construction in crochet.

What Is Being Made

The pattern covers a twin set, a classic pairing of two coordinated garments designed to be worn together. The primary garment described in detail is a pullover jumper constructed in separate flat pieces — a back panel and a front panel — which are later joined. The design makes use of contrasting colours from the Adriafil Navy yarn range to distinguish the front and back of the pullover, giving the finished garment a bold, graphic character. The twin set format means the pullover is intended to be paired with a second coordinating piece, creating a cohesive handmade outfit.

Yarn and Materials

The pattern calls for Adriafil Navy yarn in a selection of shades across the colourway range. The specific colours and quantities required are as follows:

• 150 g in violet, shade no. 58
• 150 g in orange, shade no. 53
• 50 g in sky blue, shade no. 44
• 50 g in pistachio green, shade no. 67
• 50 g in blue, shade no. 40

This gives a total of 450 g of Adriafil Navy across all colours combined. The yarn is a chunky weight, which contributes to the substantial, cosy drape of the finished garment. A single crochet hook in size 6 is used throughout the pattern. No additional materials such as buttons, zips, or stitch markers are specified in the pattern content.

Techniques and Construction

The pullover is constructed using flat crochet worked in rows, with the back and front panels made separately before being assembled. This is a traditional approach to garment making in crochet that allows the crocheter to manage shaping on each piece independently before seaming. The construction sequence and shaping details are as follows:

Back Panel

The back is worked in violet, shade no. 58. It begins with a foundation chain of 42 stitches plus 1 turning chain. The work then proceeds in rows with the following shaping:

• Waist shaping: 3 stitches are decreased, spaced evenly, across rows 4 and 5
• At 15 cm of total length, side shaping begins with decreases of 1 stitch at each end every 4 rows, worked twice
• At 28 cm, the sides are increased by 1 stitch at each end
• At 31 cm, armhole shaping begins by suspending 2 stitches at each end
• After a further 16 cm from the armhole, the yarn is broken off and the work is bound off

Front Panel

The front is worked in orange, shade no. 53. It begins with the same foundation chain of 42 stitches plus 1 turning chain and follows the same construction as the back up to the armhole point, with one key difference:

• At 31 cm, armhole shaping is worked by suspending 3 stitches at each end rather than 2, creating a slightly deeper armhole on the front
• After 16
