Materials Needed:

Stitch markers

Instructions:

Creating the Panels:

Chain: Start by chaining 35 inches. Adjust this length based on your height preference.
Half Double Crochet: Skip the first stitch and begin working half double crochets in each stitch.
Row End: At the end of the row, chain two and turn your work.
Back Loop: Work in the back loop only for each half double crochet.
Repeat: Continue this pattern until your panel reaches the desired length (14-15 inches for the front panel).
Second Panel: Repeat the process to create a second panel, which will be the back of the sweater.

Making the Sleeves:

Chain: Chain 17 inches for the sleeve. Adjust based on your arm size.
Half Double Crochet: Skip the first stitch and work half double crochets.
Back Loop: Work in the back loop only.
Repeat: Continue until the sleeve measures 12 inches.
Second Sleeve: Make another sleeve following the same steps.

Preparing for Assembly:

Single Crochet Edges: Work a row of single crochet along the edges of all panels and sleeves to create a neat border.

Joining the Panels:

Shoulder Seams: With the wrong sides facing out, measure 6 inches for the shoulder seam and mark with stitch markers.
Joining: Use single crochet to join the front and back panels together at the shoulders.

Attaching the Sleeves:

Measure and Mark: Measure 6.5 inches on the sleeve and mark with stitch markers.
Attach Sleeves: Align and single crochet the sleeves to the body of the sweater, ensuring the right sides of the sleeves face the wrong side of the body.

Finishing the Sleeves:

Double Crochet: Work a round of double crochet around the cuff of the sleeve.
Ribbing: Create a ribbed edge by alternating front post and back post double crochets for three rows. Reduce stitches in the second row to shape the cuff.
