The Paris Sweater is a beautiful crochet sweater that uses the fair isle crochet technique to create the hearts within the pattern!

Pattern Inspiration
I really love the fair isle crochet technique and I had already designed some crochet hat patterns with this technique. I knew it was time to up my game and try a fair isle crochet sweater!
The heart pattern is what I ultimately went with because it was simple, yet adorable, and would be great in so many different color options!
I decided to write this pattern in both women’s and children’s sizes, because it is just so cute and would make an adorable Mommy and Me set!
This beautiful crochet heart sweater is also great for Valentine’s Day parties or events!

Pattern Details
The Paris Sweater crochet pattern calls for DK (#3) weight yarn. I recommend Lion Brand Coboo yarn.
Coboo is a 51% cotton, 49% rayon from bamboo blend. It is soft, yet durable and very comfortable to wear.
This crochet heart sweater is worked from the top down, first in rows to create and chest and shoulders, and then in the round for the heart section and sleeves. The pattern comes with written instructions, as well as a full pattern video tutorial on my YouTube channel.
You will need between 1120 and 2305 yards of yarn, depending on which size you make. The pattern includes yardage estimates for each size and how many skeins of yarn each size needs in the main color and contrasting color.
The pattern is rated Intermediate in pattern difficulty. The stitch is just a single crochet stitch but you need to know how to do the fair isle crochet technique. It will also be helpful to have a bit of knowledge on crocheting garments.

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is in US terms.
Sweater is worked from the top down, with the shoulders and chest worked in rows first, and then join to create the armholes. Body section of the sweater is worked in a continuous rounder, and sleeves and trim will be crocheted at the end in a join as you go method.
You will work in a continuous round for the heart design section, using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.
If float is held behind 5 or more stitches, catch your float halfway through.
Watch your tension throughout. Don’t pull your floats too tight or work your stitches too tight.
Sweater is fitted with 0-2” of positive ease. I recommend sizing up for a looser fit.
Fair isle section of pattern is written as number of stitches to work with what color to use as follows: 2 (MC), 2 (CC).

To follow chart, start with row 1 and work left to right and top to bottom. The first fair isle round in the size you are doing is row 1 of the chart.
To change colors, instead of finishing out the last stitch before you go to the next color, pull the next color through the 2 loops for the last step of your stitch. This will finish out your last stitch and start you off with the new color for your next stitch.
To catch your float when working 7 stitches or more in the same color, simply grab your non-working yarn when working a middle stitch and then drop it again until your next color change.
