CRETE SWEATER and my collaboration with HOOOKED
Who said Summer is not a good time for crochet? With all this lightweight cotton, linen and bamboo yarn in cheerful colours I get inspired all the time! That’s why I was so excited when my friends from Hoooked asked me to make a few designs to showcase the new Somen and Eucalyptus yarn!
Somen yarn is a blend of recycled cotton and linen, which makes this sweater even more comfortable. I highly recommend to make a gauge swatch and wash it before you start because cotton and linen shrink a lot when washed. It’s made in Europe and comes in 14 beautiful colors.
Crete sweater is super breathable and therefore perfect for sunny days when it’s still a bit breezy. It’s a perfect clothing item to wear as beach cover-up, but still airy. It’s made top down with very easy construction and could be easy adjusted if you like to make it longer or wider.
Pattern is available in 5 sizes. Bust/hips:
XS -95 cm
S – 104 cm
M – 113 cm
L – 122 cm
XL – 131 cm
Patter is written in UK crochet terms and includes written instruction, photos and illustrations in 5 languages – Dutch, German, English, French and Spanish.
You can find Crete sweater pattern on Ravelry, Etsy, Lovecraft and Hoooked website!
Happy crocheting!
