🧶 Instructions for Seamless Crochet Sweater:
1. Yoke (Top Part of the Sweater):
-
Start with the Neckline:
-
Chain 70 (for Small, adjust for different sizes by adding or subtracting chains in multiples of 5).
-
Join the chain to form a circle, making sure it’s not twisted.
-
-
Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as first DC). Work 1 DC in each chain around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first DC (70 DC).
-
Round 2: Chain 2, 1 DC in each of the first 5 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch, repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first DC. (84 DC)
-
Round 3: Chain 2, 1 DC in each of the first 6 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch, repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first DC. (98 DC)
-
Round 4: Chain 2, 1 DC in each of the first 7 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch, repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first DC. (112 DC)
Repeat Round 4 until the yoke reaches the desired width across the shoulders, typically around 12-15 inches depending on size.
2. Divide for Body and Sleeves:
-
Mark the shoulder seams where you will separate the body from the sleeves (roughly halfway around the yoke). You can use stitch markers to keep track.
-
Divide the Yoke: After marking, you will begin working the body in the round, leaving the sleeves open for now. Work 1 DC in each stitch around, omitting the sleeve stitches. Join with a slip stitch.
-
For small sizes, you may leave out about 18-20 stitches for each sleeve (approx. 10 inches of armhole).
-
For larger sizes, leave about 22-24 stitches for the sleeve openings.
-
Rounds 1-8 (Body): Continue to work in DC around the body until it reaches the desired length. Each round should be joined with a slip stitch. You can add ribbing at the bottom for a fitted look, using half double crochet (HDC) in the back loops only for the last 2-3 rounds.
3. Sleeves:
After completing the body, it’s time to crochet the sleeves. We will use the sleeve openings you left earlier.
-
Attach yarn at one of the sleeve openings, chain 2, and work DC in each stitch around. Mark the beginning of the round.
-
Round 1: Work 1 DC in each stitch, then join with a slip stitch to the first DC.
-
Round 2: DC in each stitch around, join with a slip stitch to the first DC.
-
Repeat Round 2 until the sleeve reaches your desired length, typically 12-14 inches for adult sizes.
-
Ribbing for Sleeves (Optional): For a ribbed look at the sleeves, work the last 2-3 rounds in HDC in the back loop only. This gives a stretchy, fitted effect.
4. Neckline:
To finish off the neckline, work a simple ribbing to tighten it up and create a polished look:
-
Round 1: Chain 2, work HDC in the back loop only around the neckline. Join with a slip stitch.
-
Round 2: Chain 2, HDC in the back loop only around. Join with a slip stitch.
Repeat until the neckline is the desired size. For a more fitted neck, reduce the size of your chain and work fewer rounds.
5. Finishing:
-
Weave in all ends using your tapestry needle.
-
Block the sweater to even out the stitches and ensure the shape is consistent.
🌟 Customization Ideas:
-
Stripes: Add color changes every few rounds for a striped effect on the body and sleeves.
-
Textured Stitches: Experiment with textured stitches such as bobbles or puff stitches for a more unique look.
-
Button Detail: Add buttons along the back or sides for a cute and functional touch.
-
Shorter or Longer Sleeves: Adjust the sleeve length according to preference, either by adding or removing rounds.
🌼 Care Instructions:
To keep your sweater in great shape:
-
Machine wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash.
-
Dry flat to maintain the shape and prevent stretching.
