Yarn for the Top Down Winter Sweater

To crochet this tee I used Isager, Alpaca 2. It’s an alpaca & wool yarn blend.

This is a super durable yarn & I especially love this for the colder season.

What made me choose this particular yarn for this crochet pattern was the unbelievable amount of colors to choose from & because of that I was able to create the effect of the colors fading together with colors I really like!

Find it here.

Heads up! If you can’t find this yarn, you can pick any “0 lace” yarn you’d like & hold two strands together just as I did! 

A Great Winter Crochet Project

The crochet Top Down Winter Sweater is a great crochet pattern for the colder season. This sweater is great to wear during the cold months, especially because of the lovely warm yarn used.

However, if you live in a warmer climate, you could pick a cool summer yarn.

Top Down Winter Sweater - FREE Crochet PatternCrochet Pattern Notes

  • This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
  • All measurements given are unblocked.
  • 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.
  • Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
  • This pattern is written for 8 sizes, where the different sizes are given in parenthesis like this: S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL). If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
  • At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
  • The whole pattern is made holding two strands of yarn together at the same time. Either two strands of one color or two colors.

Size Notes

  • This pattern is written to have a standard fit, that means about 5-10 cm ease. Learn more about mastering ease in crochet garments.
  • Take measurements to find the size that fits the best.

Size Adjustments

  • Note: Any size adjustments affect yarn usage & you might need more/less yarn than suggested.
  • Yoke
    • Starting the yoke: If you want a smaller/bigger opening for the head. Reduce/increase the starting FSC in increments of 6 st. Note: This would change the stitch & row count for the yoke throughout.
  • Body
    • For all sizes: Adjust length by adding or reducing rounds at the end, before starting round 42.
    • Adjust width by making the yoke smaller or bigger. Alternatively, add more FSC stitches on the first round of the body.
  • Sleeves
    • The sleeve pattern is written to have a balloon shape at the wrist, that means they have the same width until the final round. If you feel the sleeves turn out to wide, decrease a few stitches at the beginning of a few rounds by crocheting 2 hdc stitches together.
    • If the final round makes the opening for your hands to wide/tight, hdc2tog instead of 3 to make it wider, hdc4tog instead of 3 to make it tighter.
