Crochet Waffle Stitch Sweater Details
This crochet waffle stitch sweater pattern is worked with fingering/super fine (#1) weight yarn. I used WeCrochet Twill for my sweater.
Twill is a gorgeous 100% Merino Wool yarn. This yarn has a lovely drape and excellent stitch definition that makes the waffle stitches stand out beautifully. It comes in 16 colorways and can be machine washed and dried!
This waffle crochet sweater would also be lovely in Stroll Tweed, Comfy Fingering, or Stroll Solids.
The Apricity Henley is worked in rows, in one piece, starting with the front panel, and joined with simple seaming. A ribbed trim highlights the sleeves and bottom of the sweater. It’s finished off with a button-up collar, which adds a polished look.
This pattern is rated Intermediate in pattern difficulty. It comes with instructions for 9 sizes – women’s XS through 5X. The finished chest measures 33″ – 64″.

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is in US terms.
The Waffle Stitch Sweater features the stretchy and textured crochet waffle stitch. This sweater is worked in rows in one piece starting from the front panel. Once the panels and sleeves are crocheted, you’ll sew the bottom of the sleeves and sides of the sweater to join it all together. Trim is added at the end.
Gauge is worked unblocked with specific yarn used. This yarn will shrink back to original size in the dryer, so check often when drying to get garment back to correct size.
Garment is meant to be worked with 2-4” of positive ease
Starting chain does not count as first stitch unless stated otherwise within in the pattern.
Pattern is written in smallest size, with additional sizes in parentheses as follows: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X).
Final stitch count for all sizes will be at the end of each row/round. If no stitch counts, they are the same as the previous row/round.
