This chunky crochet sweater is super cozy and warm. It works up super fast using super bulky yarn. Is that enough “supers” for you? LOL!
We also use a massive size Q hook that helps work it up much faster than most crochet sweaters.
Here is the video tutorial for your convenience. Please watch on YouTube so you can subscribe and click the Thumbs Up icon. And of course…watch it all the way through! All of these little things are a huge help to me and my Crazy Cool Crochet biz. Yep…this is still my only source of income. Your “support” is truly appreciated!
Photos coming soon! (That’s ok right? You’ve got the video to view.)
Size Small
This pattern requires no multiple and easily adjusts for size by adding rows for length and adding chains to the beginning foundation chain (in an odd number).
Instructions for Medium, Large, X Large and 1X are in parentheses (X).
Results will vary according to yarn and tension used. Sizing should be considered “suggestions”. Adjust as needed.
