Meadow Sweater

This crochet pattern is in English. *This listing is a PDF CROCHET PATTERN for the Meadow Sweater, NOT a finished item. It is written in U.S. standard crochet terms.* ABOUT THE PATTERN AND DESIGN Worked top-down and entirely without seaming, the Meadow Sweater is a lightweight sweater with careful shaping for a great fit. The back yoke features a short row construction that drapes carefully on the wearer's shoulders better than a traditional drop shoulder. The sleeves are worked directly from the body offering customization in length, and feature a cinched bottom for a relaxed yet still wearable cuff. The benefit of working top-down is that you can try it on as you're making it and customize the length. INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE This purchase includes 1 downloadable version of the pattern that includes written instructions as well as step-by-step pictures, access to exclusive video tutorials, and a detailed tester look book showing different versions of this sweater.
