The Yarn
This two color crochet pattern works up super quickly using bulky weight yarn. The yarn used in the photos is Lion Brand Color Made Easy. The Color Made Easy line is such a soft and beautiful yarn and is available is so many great colors! Since there is such a large variance in this weight category, I strongly recommend using the same yarn. If you choose to use another yarn, however, just make sure you swatch and meet accurate gauge before you get started!
YOUR NEW FAVORITE FALL SWEATER
My goal here was to create what could become anyone’s new favorite fall sweater. You know, that sweater that you always grab for whether you’re running out the door or just lounging around the house and want to be comfy and warm. The bulky weight yarn makes it just heavy and thick enough to keep you toasty warm without being overly bulky and constricting. Made with 4-6″ of positive ease and slightly loosely fitted sleeves, this is one of the comfiest sweaters I now own! I can’t wait to get so much use out of it this coming fall!

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

- * * indicates a repeat
- (xx) at the end of a row/round indicates how many total stitches for that row/round
- 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 (more details).
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
