Forest Sweater with Side Slits

The sweater is worked top down and is completely seamless. It has side slits and will look great and feel comfortable on any body shape. The sample is made with fingering weight yarn, but you can use sport weight yarn as well, especially if you tend to crochet tight. The stitching is pretty loose to make it drape beautifully. **Size / Chest measurements of finished garment** with a positive ease of approx. 10cm or 4inches S 90cm/35 ½ in M 96cm/38 ¾ in L 105cm/41 ¼ in XL 115cm/45 ¼ in XXL 125cm/49 ¼ in **Materials** • approx. 1720 (1920, 2120, 2320, 2520) m or 1879 (2097, 2316, 2534, 2753) yards of any fingering weight yarn or sport weight yarn (always check the gauge!) **Suggested yarn:** Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids, 75% Merino Wool 25% Nylon, 100g (3.5oz) 400m (437yds), shade Pine • crochet hook 3.5mm or size needed to obtain gauge • 2 stitch markers • measuring tape **Gauge**: Please check the gauge before you start! 19sts and 10rows in dc to measure 10x10cm or 4x4in using 3.5mm hook, or size required to obtain the gauge **Stitches and abbreviations**: st(s) – stitch(es) ch – chain stitch sc – single crochet hdc - half double crochet dc – double crochet sl st – slip stitch sp - space WS – wrong side RS – right side ALL MY PATTERNS ARE WRITTEN IN STANDARD AMERICAN TERMS!
