Crochet Pattern | UP & DOWN Sweater | seamless | top-down

ABOUT THIS PATTERN:
This textured crochet pullover features a comfy, boxy fit, dropped shoulders and a round neck. Front and back post stitches create a stunning design for an eye-catching and unique cover up. A cropped silhouette and wide sleeves add to its loose-fitting charm. This garment is a seamless top-down construction worked in one piece. You can try it on as you crochet and easily extend the length.

Start at the top edge of the back piece, and work flat until armhole depth is reached. Then, pick up stitches from the upper edge for right and left shoulder. Join for the front, and work flat to armhole depth. Join for working the body in the round, and continue straight down until you reach the body length. Pick up stitches from the armholes, and work the sleeves down to the cuff. Finally, work the neckband.
