Pattern Inspiration

The cold shoulder look was the big trend of the year when I designed this crochet sweater! Everything in stores had open shoulders, whether it was for warm weather or cold!

So I decided to try my hand at designing a cold shoulder sweater!

I decided to go with a simple stitch for the sweater and let the style really do the work! I added some open stitch work throughout the bottom half of the sweater to just give it some added flare!

Pattern Details

The Yarn

The Calgary Cold Shoulder crochet sweater is made with sport (#2) weight yarn. I used Brava Sport from WeCrochet.

Brava Sport is a 100% acrylic yarn that is super soft and sturdy! It can be machine washed and dried, and comes in a lot of beautiful colors! Check out my full review on the Garments and Gauge crochet podcast!

The Workup

This crochet sweater pattern is worked from the top down, with the sleeves added at the end. The opening at the top provides just enough room to show a bit of the shoulders and then goes into a full long sleeve.

It is rated Intermediate in pattern difficulty. You will need to have a basic knowledge of crocheting garments, including how to measure and figure out gauge. If you’d like more information on crocheting garments check out my email series, The Ultimate Guide to Crocheting Garments.

However, the pattern does use very basic crochet stitches, so if you’re an adventurous beginner give it a try!
