As the days grow shorter, and the clocks go back I am revisiting this pattern from 2015.  I loved this sweater and wore it to death so I think it’s time to make myself another one.  It might be unseasonably mild just at the moment but I’m sure it won’t be long before we need to wrap up warmly.

This crochet sweater is inspired by a Frank & Olive Crochet pattern. However, I had different yarn, I was making a different size, I wanted a different neck and longer sleeves and so I had to basically make it up as I went along!

The yarn I used for this version was Merino Blend Aran super wash wool by King Cole in a gorgeous shade of Aubergine, bought from the Wool Warehouse.  Sadly, this seems to have been discontinued, but a quick search has revealed a gorgeous selection of different colours, and tweedy mixes.  I have no idea how I will choose! 

Also, looking at it I might try an alternative stitch. In fact, it might end up being a completely different sweater altogether, but that’s the joy of freewheeling with your crochet hook!

So there isn’t a pattern as such, but if you would like a crib sheet of how I worked it out I’m very happy to share so please let me know if you are interested.

It’s exactly what I need for cold winter days in the studio, and there’s just about room for Higgins too!

Do leave a comment if you want to know more.

See you soon..x
