Back Panel Pattern

Starting Chain:

Make a slip knot and chain 65 (adjust length as desired for different sizes, refer to the description below the video for specific chain counts for other sizes).

Row 1:

Skip first 2 chains, double crochet in the third chain and each chain across. Chain one and turn.

Rows 2 to 4:

Work back bar or back loop slip stitches across. Chain one and turn at the end.

Row 5:

Chain two (this counts as the first stitch), skip the first stitch, then perform back loop double crochets across. Chain one and turn.

Repeat:

Continue repeating Rows 2-5 until you have a total of 56 rows for the back panel. Fasten off.

Front Panels

First Front Panel

Initial Rows:

Start as the back panel, with a chain of 65 followed by double crochet row, then work the knit look stitch for 12 rows.

Decrease Rows:

Start decreasing from Row 13. At the end of every back bar double crochet row, work a double crochet decrease. In slip stitch rows, perform back bar slip stitch decreases at the beginning and end of rows as needed.
Repeat the pattern, alternating three slip stitch rows and a double crochet row with decreases at the specified locations until you have 56 rows in total. Fasten off.

Second Front Panel

Start with a chain of 21 and follow a similar pattern to the first front panel but with increases instead of decreases. Work two stitches in the first and last stitch for increase rows.
After reaching 44 rows of increases, work 12 regular rows without increases or decreases for the shoulder strap. Fasten off.

Sleeves

Starting Chain:

Chain 58.

Row 1:

Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and the next 18 chains, half-double crochet in the next 19 chains, double crochet in the remaining 19 chains. Chain one and turn.

Rows 2 to 4:

Work back loop slip stitches across. Chain one and turn.

Row 5 (Increase Row):

Repeat the stitch pattern of Row 1 (19 single crochets, 19 half-double crochets, 19 double crochets with an increase at the beginning and end). Chain one and turn.

Repeat:

Continue the pattern, finishing after 41 rows. Repeat for the second sleeve.

Cuff and Border

Cuff:

For each cuff, start with a chain of 9, double crochet across, and then work back bar double crochets for 16 rows using a 4.5 mm hook. Seam to the end of the sleeve.

Bottom Border:

Similar to the cuff but work 68 rows and attach to the bottom of the sweater.

Front Borders:

Work a tapered start for 4 rows, then continue straight for a total of 38 rows. Attach this tapered border to the front panels.

Final Assembly:

Seam front panels to back, leaving space for armholes.
Whip stitch sides closed from the bottom to 6.5 inches from the top for armholes.
Attach sleeves and weave in all loose ends.
