Crochet Turtleneck Sweater

Materials Needed:

Crochet Hooks: 5.5 mm for the body and neck, 4.5 mm for the cuffs
Scissors
Darning needle
Measuring tape
Yarn: Size 4 yarn (e.g., Red Heart Super Saver Ombre), approximately 1000 to 1500 yards

Neckline:

Starting Chain:

Make a slip knot, then chain 17. (Adjust the number of chains based on your neck size and the desired height of the turtleneck.)

First Row:

Slip stitch in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Chain 1 and turn.

Following Rows:

Work in back loops only for a knit-like stitch. Slip stitch in back loops across. Chain 1 and turn. Repeat this step until the piece snugly fits your neck.

Joining the Neckline:

Hold the two ends of the neckline together with the right sides facing each other.
Slip stitch the edges together by going through the outer loops of both ends.

Yoke:

First Round:

Use half double crochets worked in rounds around the neckline. Chain one half double crochet in each row end around the neck. Join with a slip stitch.

Second Round (Increase):

Half double crochet in the same stitch as joining, then make 4 half double crochets. In the fifth stitch, make 2 half double crochets. Repeat this pattern around. Join with a slip stitch.

Marking Sleeves:

Measure and mark where the sleeves will begin using stitch markers, typically about 2-3 inches from the edge of the yoke on both sides.

Sleeves:

Start at a Sleeve Marker:

Chain an amount for the sleeve's width (e.g., 13 chains), then attach to the opposite marker with a slip stitch, creating a chain loop for the armhole.

Sleeve Rounds:

Half double crochet in each stitch and chain around the armhole. Continue rounds until the sleeve reaches desired length.

Cuffs:

Switch to a 4.5 mm hook. Start with a row of single crochets to tighten the edge.

Cuff Pattern (Back Loop Only Ribbing):

Chain an amount for the cuff's height (e.g., 7 chains), then slip stitch in the back loops only down the chain and into the next single crochet from the previous round. Turn and repeat the ribbing pattern until the cuff encircles the wrist. Join with slip stitches.

Body:

Continue from where the yoke was left, half double crochet around the body, incorporating decreases as necessary to fit below the armholes.
Work until the sweater reaches the desired length.
