Free crochet pattern fall sweater is below. The rich autumn colors and super soft yarn will make this your go-to crochet pullover sweater.
This pattern will also be available at my Etsy shop along with dozens of other crazy cool crochet patterns! CrazyCoolCrochetUS
I have chosen one of my favorite yarns for this project by Lion Brand. The yarn used for this crochet pullover sweater is very soft and so comfortable. I have a button below the materials list below that will take you straight to the exact yarn. Proceed at your own peril if you opt to use a different yarn. JUST KIDDING! But seriously…this yarn is a heather type yarn which means the colors have lovely, subtle highlights and the tiniest amount of sheen. This makes the yarn look and feel luxurious.
The body for this crochet fall sweater is worked in two identical panels using basic stitches and no increases or decreases. EASY! The sleeves do have decreases to taper from the elbow down. Nothing you can’t handle!
