Introduction

In this crochet tutorial, we will be creating a cozy sweater using a weight three yarn and a 5 millimeter crochet hook. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a size small sweater, with options for other sizes available on the blog crochetwithcarrie.com. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather the materials we will need for this project. You will need:

• Weight three yarn
• 5 millimeter crochet hook

Now that we have our materials ready, let's move on to the first step.

Step 1: Making a Chain

To start our sweater, we will begin by making a chain of 73. Take your crochet hook and yarn, and follow these steps:

1. Insert the crochet hook into the yarn.
2. Pull the yarn through the loop on the hook to create a slipknot.
3. Insert the hook into the slipknot and tighten the loop around the hook.
4. Yarn over (wrap the yarn around the crochet hook) and pull through the loop on the hook.
5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have a chain of 73.

Great job! You have completed the first step. Now let's move on to the next step.

Step 2: Single Crochet Rows

In this step, we will be creating several rows of single crochet stitches. Follow these instructions:

1. Single crochet into the second chain from the hook.
2. Single crochet into each chain until the end.
3. Chain one and turn your work.
4. Single crochet all the way across.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 three more times to create a total of four rows of single crochet.

Once you have completed these four rows, you can move on to the next step.

Step 3: Creating the "V" Stitch Row

Now it's time to create the "V" stitch row. Follow these steps:

1. Chain three (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. Skip the first stitch and make a double crochet in the next stitch.
3. Chain one.
4. Double crochet in the same stitch.
5. Skip the next two stitches.
6. Make another "V" stitch into the next stitch.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you reach the end.
8. For the last stitch, make a double crochet in the last stitch.

Congratulations! You have completed the "V" stitch row. Let's move on to the next step.

Step 4: Double Crochet Clusters

In this step, we will be creating double crochet clusters. Follow these instructions:

1. Chain three and turn your work.
2. Yarn over and insert your hook into the center of the "V" stitch.
3. Pull the yarn through, yarn over, and pull through two loops on the hook.
4. Yarn over and insert your hook into the same "V" stitch.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 two more times.
6. Yarn over and pull through all four loops on the hook.
7. Chain two.
8. Repeat steps 2-7 for each "V" stitch across.
9. At the end, make a double crochet in the third chain.

Great job! You have completed the double crochet clusters. Let's move on to the next step.

Step 5: Repeating the Pattern

Now it's time to repeat the pattern we have created. Follow these steps:

1. Do four rows of single crochet.
2. Followed by a row of "V" stitches.
3. Then a row of double crochet clusters.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 six more times.

Repeat this pattern for a total of six more times, or until your sweater reaches the desired length.

Step 6: Adding the Sleeves

To add sleeves to our sweater, we will create chains and attach them to the sides. Follow these instructions:

1. Chain 45 on one side and fasten off.
2. Attach your yarn on the other side and chain 45.
3. Fasten off and cut your yarn.

Step 7: Attaching the Front and Back Panels

To complete our sweater, we need to attach the front and back panels together. Follow these steps:

1. Lay the back panel with the right side facing up.
2. Place the front panel on top, with the right side facing down.
3. Mark the stitches where the neckline will be.
4. Stitch all the way across until you reach the stitch markers.
5. Cut the yarn and attach it to the other side.
6. Stitch all the way across to the next stitch marker.
7. Stitch all the way down the sides.
8. Weave in all your ends.

Congratulations! You have completed your crochet sweater. Turn it right-side out and enjoy wearing it with style!
