Crochet Sweater Scarf
                                 Pattern

            


           Design process

I was asked to recreate a sweater scarf posted in a crochet group, so y'all already know that I took the challenge lol. So I searched the internet for a similar look and found just what I needed, then I made a swatch and measured myself then BOOM I had a sweater scarf thingy lol. After writing the 1st pattern I realized I definitely needed to re-write it and change it up a bit, so i ended up using a formula to get a more accurate fit, changed the stitch pattern, and I also cut down on the sewing buy adding the sleeves to the foundation chain, and now that it's complete I'm here to show you how to make your own crochet sweater scarf! 
                              *pictured* 3 sweater wrap scarf's made with 3 
                              different weight 4 yarns, 2 different hooks, 3 different                   
                            st patterns and different starting chain #'s. that proves                  
                              that you can make this sweater anyway you want 
                              IT'S FOOL PROOF
DISCLAIMER When I was asked to recreate this garment I wasn't exactly sure what it was or how to wear it, so when I tried it on I soon realized that it wasn't the most comfortable thing to wear LOL, however it is very cute... BUT HOW THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO MOVE YOUR ARMS WITHOUT THE WHOLE TOP MOVING WITH THEM LOL!! idk and I may never know, but what I do know is I took a lot of cute pics wearing it.










   ABBREVIATIONS               MATERIALS


CH- chain stitch                                            weight 4 yarn (I USED BIG TWIST                            
SC- single crochet                                                       VALUE) color way: medium rose

SC BLO -single crochet back
loop only                                                                       5.5 mm AND 6 mm hook

 HDC- half double crochet                                                    2 stitch markers

 ST- stitch                                                                                 scissors
                                                             
                                                                                     measuring tape
  
  * I used 1 1/2 skeins of big twist for this pattern, BUT the pattern on my youtube channel I used 2 whole skeins of the A.C. Moore yarn so idk how much you will need. But I suggest that you get at least 2 skeins for XS-S, and 3 skeins for M-L  XL-2XL but that is just a guess from my end. *
                                                                                        
                                                                                     

                                     


 







 




     
Gauge                                      Size/Dimensions
4 stitches = 1"                                                                XS-S = around 5 feet

 2 rows =1"                                                     MED-LG = around 6 feet

 Half Double Crochet
9 rows - 4"                                                                      XL-2XL = around 7 feet
10 sts - 4"

* I suggest that you gauge swatch if you're trying to get the exact fit that you're looking for based on this pattern *

                                                              Notes

  • Length adjustments can be made at the beginning when we are making the foundation chain as well as during the pattern by how many rows you add or subtract...
  • when adding or subtracting chains you should do so in multiples of 4 ( so for example if I wanted to make the foundation chain one inch longer I would add four stitches, if I wanted to shorten the foundation chain one inch I would subtract four stitches)
  • Chain 1 does NOT count as a stitch ( it's the turning chain )
  • the formula I used to get each size was:
         Bust measurement, minus two inches, multiplied by two, then you add 42    

         inches for the sleeves 21 stitches for each sleeve OR you can make the 

         sleeves longer by adding stitches in multiples of 3 
          
                  BUST - 2 inches = Y

                  Y x 2 = X 

                  X + 42 stitches for the sleeves or you can add more inches to the                      

                  sleeves
Sizes are listed in this format XS-S ( M-L, XL-2X )
Your tension is going to determine the fit that you get, if you tend to crochet loose then I recommend that you use a smaller size hook, and if you crochet very tight then I suggest that you use a larger size hook. Also using stretchy yarn helps a lot with the overall fit and  comfortability.



                                         Pattern

 * Start with the 6 mm hook for foundation chain* 

Chain 186 (210,246) , count 21 sts on each end of your chain, mark them off with st markers.

                                    




                                    

 * SC BLO WITH THE 5.5 MM HOOK TO CREATE A DIFFERENCE IN THE SLEEVE AND "CUFFS" ONLY WHEN YOU BEGIN SC BLO *

R1: Chain 1 SC in the next st and across 20 sts until you reach the first st       

       marker ( 21 sts )

                                    

* I USED THE 6 MM HOOK FOR THE HDC STS *

HDC across 144 (168,204) * between the st markers*

                                    


when you reach the next st marker SC into the last 21 sts of the row.









                              this is what you should have at this point
                                          
                                     

                                       




R2: Chain 1, turn and SC BLO into the next 21 sts 

HDC across 144(168,204) when you reach the st marker SC BLO across the next 21 sts.

R3: REPEAT ROW TWO FOR THE REST OF THE PATTERN 
              
              XS-S 24-28 rows
              
              M-L 32-36 rows

              XL-2X 40-44 rows

*everyone is different sizes, and has different preferences so you can do as few or as many rows as you want to get the length to cover your bust and or stomach area . I like mine in a more cropped style so I stopped at 21 rows but I think 28 rows is a good amount of rows for sizes XS-S. If you're doing bigger sizes and you want to do less rows to make it cropped then subtract 3 ( -3 ) from the number of rows I provided above. Example: 24-28 rows  ( 24-3 = 21 rows ) ( 28-3 = 25 rows ). 

here's what you should have when you're finished... basically a long scarf LOL!!



                                           SEAMING

don't cut your yarn so you can SC the cuffs and sleeve together without having to rejoin the yarn. stitch mark the two sides of the sleeve together and SC across all 21 SC BLO sts, then continue to single crochet across 10 more sts , ( you can do however many sts you want to do it's up to you, but don't stitch more then 4-6 inches ) after you do the other side fasten off, weave in all ends. Now you're finished ....you just have to put it on !!



* I HAVE A REFRENCE VIDEO FOR HOW TO PUT THIS THING ON LOL I HOPE IT HELPS*

                          



                                               

                                                 Thank you !!!

(I used 1 skein making a size XS-small) sizes XL-2XL (2+ skeins)




-medium 4 yarn ( I used Caron Simply Soft in the color white )



-5 mm hook

-stitch markers


-scissors

-measuring tape ( optional )


  

stitch pattern multiple : 



even number + 3





                                  I only made one size XS - S ( pattern is easily customizable )




Notes:
-CH CHAIN
-DC DOUBLE CROCHET
-ST STITCH
-SP SPACE
-SK SKIP -INC = increase

 -CH3 counts as a st

 -sl st in 3rd CH of CH3 at the end of every row





-WE ARE MAKING A -FRONT,BACK 

      -WORKED IN ROWS
                 
-SEWING IT TOGETHER DOWN THE SIDES
                 
-SLEEVES WORKED IN ROUNDS 


-to increase DC CH2 DC in same st ( CH2 counts as 2 st increase )

                   ( stitches shown below )




                      

                        Actual pattern stitches

             CH3, sk 1 st, vst in next st, *CH 4 sk 4, 
             
             vst in next st * REP from * to *  until last vst, skip next      


             st, DC on top of CH3 from previous row.




Swatch Gauge of the stitch pattern I am using
 I highly encourage you to make one and measure it
 yourself to make this top in any size 

1.To make the gauge swatch CH 15 TO START
2. DC across 15 sts, CH3, turn
3. sk st, *vst in next, ch4 sk4 sts, vst in next st** ( rep from * to ** for 5 rows that will give you a 4" swatch



I haven't had pattern testers 
test this so proceed at your own risk
THIS IS MAINLY A GUIDELINE for you to create
your own netted top, the numbers that I have provided may or may not be accurate, use your own swatch to figure out the correct number of chains for your foundation row.


part 1 BACK

Pattern:

foundation row: XS-S CH 54 + 3 [ M CH 67 ] [ L CH 75 ] [ XL CH 82 ] [ 2XL CH 90 ] + 3



ROW 1:

DC into the 4th CH from the hook, and all the way to the end of the row




 ROWS 2-6: for larger sizes add more rows 

sk 1 st, vst in next st, *CH 4 sk 4, vst in next st* REP from * to *  until 1 ST + CH3is left, SK last ST, DC on top of the 3rd CH of the CH3

REP for 5 more rows 




DC in the CH3 at the very end of the row
                                                   ROW 2 vst in between previous vst



ROWS 7-8: for larger sizes do more rows

CH3 , vst pattern across 4 vat's 

     ( ch4 sk4 vet in next st 4x )





INC in the next 3 vst patterns 

{ CH4 SK4, DC CH2 DC ( VST INC ) across 3 vst's } 


finishing the row...

CH4 SK4, vst pattern across last 4 vst's


     ( ch4 sk4 vst in next st 4x )

* REP INC ROW for row 8



ROWS 12-20: FOR LARGER SIZES ADD MORE ROWS

CH3, vst in-between next vst, *CH 4 sk 4, vst in next vst * REP from * to *  until  last vst, DC on top of 3rd CH of the CH3

row 20 highlighted 



PART 2 FRONT

REPEAT part 1 up to ROW 14: or where ever you stopped for your size



ROW 15: ( creating shoulder area ) FOR LARGER SIZES ADD MORE ROWS AND WIDTH 

CH3 , vst pattern across 3-4 vst's for 5 - 6 ROWS ( on both sides of your work )



                       this is the front part of our crop top

Part 3


take a measuring tape and measure from the top of your work 6 1/2   ( OR HOWEVER MANY INCHES YOUR ARMHOLE IS )inches down for armhole spacing, place a stitch marker in the correct ST to be marked




place the right sides of your work facing each other before slip stitching

slip stitch up the sides starting at the bottom DC foundation row, leaving 6 1/2 " space open for your armhole


* DO BOTH SIDES *

           DO NOT CUT YARN AFTER SLIP STITCHING UP THE SIDE



PART 4 SLEEVES FOR LARGER SIZES ADD MORE STS AND ROWS

this part is tricky because there isn't a designated st area for us to count properly, so I suggest that you use your creativity to determine how far apart/ how many vsts you need to fit around your arm.

now we are going to make the sleeves , since I never cut the yarn after slip stitching up the sides my yarn is ready to go

ROW 1-30:

CH3, vst in the next available st , * CH4 SK4, vst in next st * rep from * to * across 6-8 vsts, sl st into the CH3 at the beginning of the row

REPEAT this for a total of 30 ROWS 

REPEAT ON THE OTHER SLEEVE

I ALSO ADDED A ROW OF SINGLE CROCHET EDGING AROUND THE WRIST AREA
and around the neck hole area as well just didn't show it because it's optional.

        this is after about 5 rows just to show you how it should be looking  as you continue the rounds.



AFTER YOU WEAVE IN ALL YOUR ENDS, TURN YOUR WORK RIGHT SIDES OUT AND 

        WE ARE FINISHED!

take a measuring tape and measure from the top of your work 6 1/2   ( OR HOWEVER MANY INCHES YOUR ARMHOLE IS )inches down for armhole spacing, place a stitch marker in the correct ST to be marked




place the right sides of your work facing each other before slip stitching

slip stitch up the sides starting at the bottom DC foundation row, leaving 6 1/2 " space open for your armhole


* DO BOTH SIDES *

           DO NOT CUT YARN AFTER SLIP STITCHING UP THE SIDE



PART 4 SLEEVES FOR LARGER SIZES ADD MORE STS AND ROWS

this part is tricky because there isn't a designated st area for us to count properly, so I suggest that you use your creativity to determine how far apart/ how many vsts you need to fit around your arm.

now we are going to make the sleeves , since I never cut the yarn after slip stitching up the sides my yarn is ready to go

ROW 1-30:

CH3, vst in the next available st , * CH4 SK4, vst in next st * rep from * to * across 6-8 vsts, sl st into the CH3 at the beginning of the row

REPEAT this for a total of 30 ROWS 

REPEAT ON THE OTHER SLEEVE

I ALSO ADDED A ROW OF SINGLE CROCHET EDGING AROUND THE WRIST AREA
and around the neck hole area as well just didn't show it because it's optional.

        this is after about 5 rows just to show you how it should be looking  as you continue the rounds.



AFTER YOU WEAVE IN ALL YOUR ENDS, TURN YOUR WORK RIGHT SIDES OUT AND 

        WE ARE FINISHED!
