High Desert is 100% USA Grown and Spun Shaniko Wool. Knit Picks sent me some of their brand-new High Desert Sport Weight wool to use for this design, and I’m thrilled with how squishy and soft it is! This is definitely the highest-quality wool yarn I have tried yet. This women’s cardigan crochet pattern calls for #2 Sport Weight yarn. How to Choose the Best Yarn for a Women’s Crochet Pullover Sweater The finished sweater is made in one piece, similar to a sideways drop-shoulder construction, but with a more seamless look. While sewing the side seams, we leave an opening around which we can work the sleeves. We then work along both sides of the braid to create the rest of the sweater body. Instead, the body of this pullover sweater is worked flat, starting with the braid. Griddle Stitch gives the rest of the sweater a slight texture to help the braid really pop.Ĭrocheting a garment doesn’t have to be complicated! This is not a top-down raglan sweater or a sweater made with separate sleeve, back, and front panels. No front and back post stitches or confusing cable crosses here. The highlight of the Intertwine Pullover is a wide braided faux-cable, which is much easier to make than it looks. It would be lightweight and comfortable, with a touch of texture and a feature element. When Knit Picks offered to collaborate with me on a pattern design in their new High Desert yarn, I knew exactly what I wanted to create.
