Minimal Sweater Crochet Pattern

Make a sweater that fits and feels like a real one

You've probably looked at crochet sweaters and wondered if one could actually look like something you'd buy in a store. This one does. The Minimal Sweater is a classic crewneck worked seamlessly top-down, with a clean silhouette, ribbed hem and cuffs, and a folded neckline that sits just right.

It's built to be wearable, not just finished. The relaxed, oversized fit gives you 5-7 inches of ease so you're not guessing at sizing, and nine sizes (XS through 5XL) mean there's room for a wide range of bodies to work from the same set of instructions.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 35-67 in [89-170 cm] across 9 sizes (XS-5XL), with 5-7 in [12.5-18 cm] positive ease built in

• Nine sizes from XS to 5XL, all in one set of instructions, so you can choose the fit that actually works for your body
• Fully seamless top-down construction means no sewing pieces together at the end
• Ribbed hem, cuffs, and a folded neckline give it the structured finish that most crochet sweaters miss

        "I've started three sweaters before this one. This is the first one I've actually worn."
