Unseamly Sweater

From <em>Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker</em>:<br /> <br /> My goal was to create a sweater simple enough for a beginner to make, but with a nicely fitted flattering shape instead of the boxy rectangle sweaters you see in most crochet books.&nbsp; The body is done entirely without seams; the shaping is achieved solely through changing stitch patterns.&nbsp; The only seams required are the underarms and armholes.&nbsp; The V-stitch is an open pattern that moves along quickly so it's a breeze to work on, and the cotton yarn makes is very versatile.&nbsp; I wear this sweater with a vintage wrap skirt and Frye boots, but change the color to a creamy beige or pale pink and it would look very Victorian and lacy, while black would make it dressier and quite dramatic.&nbsp; Use your imagination and make it your own.<br /> <br /> Note on Gauge:&nbsp; In V-st pattern, 5 V stitches and 7 rows double crochet = 4 inches.&nbsp; In (sc, ch1) pattern, 13 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches
