Pattern Overview
How to Crochet the 3/4 Sleeves Crochet Sweater Pattern
The short sleeve crochet pullover is worked in 4 pieces. The front and back, as well as 2 sleeves. These pieces are seamed together with the whip stitch and finally you’ll crochet ribbing around the neck, sleeves and body.
To crochet this sweater you don’t have to know a lot of fancy crochet stitches, as the main parts are made with double crochet stitches and double crochet 3 together.
The ribbing is worked directly on the assembled crochet sweater and is made up of slip stitches and single crochet stitches, worked in the back loop.

Crochet Pattern Notes

- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
