1st row (right side) – h5ch, dc1, ch2, sk2, sc1, [ch5, sk4, sc1] to last 4chs; ch2, sk2, dc2 + RC2
2nd row (wrong side) – h4ch, sc1, ch5, sk5, [sc inc., ch5, sk5] to last 2chs; sc2 + RC3
3rd row – h5ch, dc1, ch2, sk2, sc inc., ch2, sk2, [dc dec., ch2, sk2, sc inc., ch2, sk2] to last 2 chs; dc2 + RC2
4th row – h4ch, sc1, [ch2, sk2, dc dec., ch2, sk2, sc1] to last 1ch; sc1 + RC3
5th row – h5ch, dc1, ch2, sk2, sc1, [ch5, sk5, sc1] to last 4chs; ch2, sk2, dc2 + RC2
Repeat the pattern starting from the 2nd row. Work about ¾ of the back part using a larger size crochet hook and lighter yarn. Then crochet remaining ¼ of the back part using a smaller size crochet hook and darker yarn.

First front shoulder piece
Reuse the initial foundation chain. Attach the yarn into the very first ch and make 3 chains to pick up the height.
Use the same number of repeats for each shoulder piece.
1st row (right side) – dc1, ch2, sk2, sc1, (ch5, sk4, sc1) x 12, ch2, sk2, dc2 + RC2
2nd row = 2nd row (back part)
3rd row = 3rd row (back part)
4th row = 4th row (back part)
5th row – h5ch, dc1, ch2, sk2, sc1, [ch5, sk5, sc1] to last 4chs; ch2, sk2, dc2 + ch47*
*make 47 chs or multiples of 5 chs plus 7 additional chs.
Second front shoulder piece
Reuse the initial foundation chain. Attach the yarn into 68th chain from the end.
Make 3 chs to pick up the height.

2nd row = 2nd row (back part)
3rd row = 3rd row (back part)
4th row = 4th row (back part)
Join shoulder pieces together
5th row – dc2, ch2, sk2, sc1, [ch5, sk5, sc1] to last 4chs; ch2, sk2, dc2 + RC2
6th row – h4ch, sc1, ch5, sk5, [sc inc., ch5, sk5] to 47chs; (sc inc., ch5, sk4) x 10, [sc inc., ch5, sk5] to last 2chs; sc2 + RC3
7th row = 3rd row (back part)
8th row = 4th row (back part)
9th row = 5th row (back part)
10th row = 2th row (back part)
Repeat the pattern starting from the 7th row.
Repeat the last 4 rows of the pattern using a different color yarn and a smaller size crochet hook. After that, begin to decrease chains.

Hi ... I love my products, and I always hooked them with you. I just wanted to ask if you did not plan to hook this sweater? She is so very nice and I really want to hook him up. Thanks a lot for the answer
Hi Veronika,
Hi Veronika,
I work on knit slippers now. After that project, I'll crochet something similar. Happy crochet!
Hi Veronika,
Hi Veronika,
Please visit this page http://interunet.com/crochet-sweater-pattern to see my version of the sweater. Hope you like it also. The second part will be ready soon. Happy crochet!
your products :-)

Interested to make this
Interested to make this project! The pattern looks very pretty. I need to decrease it as I want to try to make for my daughter first. What is the length of your foundation chain and sizes of the final piece?
Hi Victoria,
Hi Victoria,
You may look up the gauge at the top of this page. The size is adjustable because you may move ties further or closer to the center. The length (widest part) is about 40 inches. Happy crochet!
I absolutely love your work.
I absolutely love your work. I have to mention though, that the starting chain doesn't add up. If you chain 187 it works out perfectly but with 188, you end up with 3 chains at the end of round 1. If you skip 5 stitches at the start of row 1, it works but not when you crochet into the 5th chain. I have looked into this multiple times. It just doesn't work.
