THE PERFECT EASY SWEATER CROCHET PATTERN
This sweater crochet pattern is perfect for warm weather, since it’s using cotton yarn. However, if you find this crochet pattern during fall or winter crochet, don’t look away. Make it in your favorite wool yarn.
If you haven’t made a sweater before, this is as easy as it gets. Two squares as the front and back, then easy increases on the sleeves.

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.

Notes

- Make a swatch that measure 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.

Stitches You Will Need
BUBBLEPATTERN (BP):
The bubblepattern is crocheted in 1 stitch & 1 stitch will be skipped. Each bubblepattern (BP) counts as 2 stitches.
1. The bubble.
2. The Chain.
Written description: *Draw up a loop from next stitch, yo, draw up a loop from same st, yo, pull yarn through 4 loops on hook, ch 1, sk 1 st*, repeat from *to*.
*Start each row with sk 1, because the “bubble” will always be placed in a “bubble” when crocheting in rows.
Back Loop Single Crochet (BLsc):
Crochet single crochet stitches in the back loop instead of the whole stitch.
