Materials
- Elastic cords (13 cm for front panels, 26 cm for the back panel, 15 cm for the sleeves)
- Yellow, green, red, and black yarn
- Crochet hook (size appropriate for yarn)
- Needle and matching yarn for assembly
- Four buttons
Create the Front and Back Panels
Front Panels:
- Start with a 13 cm elastic cord and crochet a row of single stitches, followed by double crochets.
- Create a larger elastic coat by crocheting a front and back stitch on top of the double crochets.
- Repeat the steps for a second identical front panel.
Back Panel:
- Create a single 26 cm elastic cord.
- Follow the same stitch pattern as the front panels to create the main back panel.
Add Color and Length
- Attach yellow yarn and crochet a row of single crochets.
- Alternate between double crochets and half crochets for three rows of each color. The video uses yellow, green, red, and black yarn for the color pattern.
- The lower section should be about 19 cm long, and the upper section (where the hands go) should be an additional 11 cm long. The entire length of the panels should be 27 cm.
Shape the Neckline
Front Panels:
- Mark a 4 cm reduction on the top inner edge and crochet two rows, stopping at the marked stitch to create a slanted neckline.
Back Panel:
- Find the middle and mark a 5 cm reduction on each side to create the back of the neck opening. Crochet two rows on each side of the marked section.
Create the Sleeves (Hands)
- Start with a 15 cm elastic cord and create an elastic coat.
- Work two rows of single crochets. On the second row, increase by crocheting two single stitches in one hole every five stitches to make the sleeve opening wider.
- Continue with the color pattern until the sleeve measures approximately 24 cm long. Repeat to create a second sleeve.
Assemble the Pullover
- Turn all the pieces inside out and sew the front panels to the back panel at the shoulders.
- Attach the sleeves by sewing them into the armholes, starting from the middle of the shoulder.
- Sew the sides of the pullover together, from the bottom hem up to the armpits and down the sleeves. Use a matching yarn color for each section.
- Weave in and cut off all loose yarn ends.
Finishing Touches
- Turn the pullover right-side out.
- Using black yarn, crochet a row of single crochets all around the front opening, including the neckline. Follow with a row of double crochets and a final elastic coat of two rows of front and back stitches.
- Sew four buttons onto the front panel.
