Understanding the Pattern and Measurements

The sweater is crocheted in separate panels: front, back, sleeves, and a neckline panel

Example body measurements:

Bust: 32–34 inches
Waist: 24 inches
Sleeve circumference: 10 inches
Body length: 13 inches
Sleeve length: 16–21 inches
Panel width formula: (Waist + 1 inch) / 2 = panel width (e.g., 12.5 inches)

Crocheting the Panels

Make a slip knot and chain to match the desired height (e.g., 13 inches for the body)
Chain 2
Skip the first stitch and work half double crochet (HDC) across the row
Chain 2 and turn
Continue working HDC in the back loop only to create a ribbed texture

Repeat rows until your panel reaches the desired width
Make two identical panels for the body (front and back)
Repeat the same method to crochet two sleeve panels

For the neckline panel:

Chain 22 stitches
Work HDC in the back loop only
Continue until the length matches your bust measurement (e.g., 32–34 inches)

Assembling the Sweater

Lay out the front, back, and sleeve panels
Sew the side seams of the front and back panels together
Join the side seams of each sleeve
Attach the sleeves to the body of the sweater
Attach the neckline panel around the top edge to form the off-shoulder neckline

Creating the Drawstring

Chain approximately 200 stitches or enough to wrap comfortably around your shoulders
Weave the chain through the neckline panel stitches to form an adjustable drawstring
