The Yarn
For the crochet Bacca Sweater Dress, Lion Brand Yarn – Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, is the suggested yarn. This yarn is 80% acrylic & 20 % wool & it is great to crochet with.
This crochet pattern uses two colors of yarn, one solid colored yarn and a variegated colorway as a contrast.
The wool makes it warm & it’s a great affordable yarn. I love this for thick & cozy garments.
It comes in lots of different colors & you can never get bored.
This yarn is also great for accessories, such as the Crochet Dickie Pattern that also use the same yarn.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

Techniques You Will Need
You will need to know how to change colors in crochet with different color on different rows.
CHANGING COLOR WITH DIFFERENT COLOR ON DIFFERENT ROWS:
When working with different colors on different rows, you’ll never finish the last stitch on the last row with one color, with the color you where working with.
Do all the steps of the stitch, then leave the last step unworked. Yarn over with the color for the next st & pull yarn through.
Repeat this for every row you change colors to make the color changes look beautiful.
