I am so excited to bring you the Brimstone Sweater! This women’s crochet sweater is full of fun stitch combos and is an easy, no-sew workup! If you’re looking for a warm and cozy crochet sweater that won’t bore you to death while you make it, this one is for you!
I wanted something unique with a lot of fun stitches throughout, instead of just one or two stitches like a lot of crochet projects. I freehanded the stitch combos and really like what I came up with!
This crochet sweater is a great fall or winter sweater because it’s made with worsted weight yarn, making it warm and cozy. It’s slightly oversized with 2-6″ of positive ease and looks great layered over your favorite tank top with jeans or even leggings!
If you love crocheting as much as I do, or want to learn more, or just want to show off your work, please join our Crochet Garments community over on Facebook! I hope you’ll share your finished crochet project with us!
This crochet sweater pattern is constructed from the top down by creating a circular yoke. Once the yoke is the right length and width you will create the armholes by skipping a certain number of stitches.
From there the bottom of the sweater is completed and sleeves are added at the end.
This crochet sweater has a seamless construction and is worked in a continuous round.
This is an intermediate level crochet pattern, but it does now come with a full pattern video tutorial.
The Brimstone Sweater is such a great fall sweater. It has an amazing fit and is so cozy! I think you’ll enjoy making it almost as much as you enjoy wearing it!
The Brimstone Sweater comes with written instructions for women’s sizes XS to 5X, a total of 9 sizes spanning a bust circumference of 28-62″.
