Written instructions

Sweater Design by Diane Makes

- Size # 4 yarn
- Finished weight 742 grams

Designed a fun sweater on a Circular knitting machine (Addi). Body: 4 panels, 43 stitches and 160 rows. Sleeves: 2 tubes, 46 stitches and 110 rows. Collar: 1 tube, 46 stitches and 100 rows. Rib 30 rows (every second stitch) of the 4 body panels and 2 tube sleeves.

Graft 2 panels together for the back piece. Graft the 2 front pieces to the back piece at the side starting at the bottom (graft 114 rows up to the arm hole. Graft 33 stitches at the shoulders from the sides in leave 10 stitches an each front pieces for neckline.

Fold ribbed hem of the body piece and sleeves on the wrong side and stitch.

Crochet: sc 1 row in each stitch of the arm hole (92 stitches).

Crochet: 2 sc in each stitch of the 46 stitches on the sleeves (2 x 46 = 92 stitches), 1 row.

Sew the sleeve to the arm holes matching each stitch.

Neckline: 2 sc in each stitch, and sc 10 extra sc stitches between the front panel stitches and back panel stitches on each side ( ending with sc stitches between 85 to 100 - this varies)

Collar: graft the tube closed at each end. Then sew one end of the collar to the neckline. If the collar stitches out numbers the neckline stitches, sew in a few places on the collar 2 stitches to 1 stitch on the neckline (distribute evenly the extra stitches to the neckline).


Button plackets

Center front left panel: sc from the bottom up starting at the first stitch and skip next stitch, sc next stitch, skip next stitch, sc next stitch and continue all the way to the top. Sc 8 rows and cast off at the end.

    I learned so much from watching this video. Really like your ribbing . I wash you had demonstrated the last parts of finishing this great sweater; as you did up to last part where you just talked about the finishing parts.. I learned so much from you, but as I am not a crocheter, I got lost at end. I ama visual learner and the demonstrations you did do were some of the best I have seen.I looked to buy the tension piece but that site said it was closed. I hope you are still out there doing fine. If possible let me know.

    Thank you Diane. Did you use 1 row cast one for the ribbing end? Will try this.
  • @waltons-crochet
    Hi Diane. I am loving this pattern. Question: how did you cast-on with the main yarn (dark shoulder color) = E-wrap or every other needle? I am probably going to wear out YouTube watching this video😂
  • @GoldenGoatLLC
    Can you show how you grafted the sleeve into the arm hole?
  • @kadievillarreal3001
    Is it 160 rows for the front and 160 rows for the back of the sweater or is it 160 rows in total
  • @mortiscia
    This is great! :) But, what thickness of yarn did you use and what size crochet hook?
