About this Product
Sample Sale!
Handmade crochet sweater fits size M to XL (model is L w/40 inch bust). Made with delicious roving yarn (it's fluffy, not twisted) that's also durable acrylic which means it is easily washed and dried in a mesh bag. Sleeve detail is created by crocheting extra long sleeves then "tying" them up to desired length with crocheted chain. Waist detail included folds to create tailoring but add weight to the delicate mesh crochet stitch. There are also tiny picots along the waist. Dresses up a t-shirt and white pants/shorts without being too hot.
Why are you getting such a great deal?
This was fun to make but the pattern is too complicated to write or duplicate and the yarn is discontinued. Enjoy this original work of wearable art and I'll go get more yarn to make the next thing :)

Meet the Maker
I'm lovin' life in coastal North Carolina where I explore and learn new fiber, glass and metal arts. I like to say I have "more ideas than time or money" but with encouragement from my family, I continue to pursue creativity through handmade goods and art. Thank you for checking out the store!

How it’s Made
This sweater was crocheted from the bottom back to the bottom front but in two pieces which were joined at the back. The super fun, stretchy mesh stitch was used on most of it while a dense band was added to the waist area to add weight and shaping. The band is "folded" near the back to keep the sweater from being too big around. Tiny picots were added around the bottom of the band by chaining and joining which creates the look of yarn "beads" hanging from the band. It took approximately 15 hours to make this original work of wearable art.
