Crochet Easy Colorful Spring Summer Sweater Rasty
Hello my crochet Friends!
Who likes to crochet simple spring and summer tops, tunics and sweaters?
I am really enjoying these crocheted summer models.
In this tutorial, I have prepared for you a super easy and simple tutorial for a spring sweater with an airy stitches, which can be perfectly resize to any size and any style.
This sweater is rather oversized, and is also wonderfully comfortable to wear thanks to the amazing Rasty yarn.
If you're looking for a tutorial for an easy crochet sweater with easy construction and a simple pattern for very beginners, then you've come to the right place.
It's also very easy to size it up or down, so you'll be able to easily crochet a sweater for anyone who wants such a great cheerful piece for Spring or Summer!
This crocheted sweater is made from the wonderful RASTY yarn - a very soft cotton yarn with many cheerful colors.
I hope you will enjoy crocheting and wearing this simple sweater from the spring to fall season.
The sweater has an easy construction, it has a basic T shape. I also wanted the “stripes” of arches to go straight across the sleeve, so each panel is a T-shaped panel. The sleeves are built into the panel as the top part of the T. The pattern is made up with double crochet stitches and trebles.
In the instructions below, you will find the written pattern for free for the XS women size or for the teenage size, but you can easily change and size it up or down - lengthen, widen or shorten or narrow it. There is no special shaping in the instructions, so it is absolutely ideal for very beginners.
I hope we have a wonderful spring time ahead, so let's get started!

PATTERN NOTES
1) Before you start take a measurement, I would recommend to determine the width of your sweater. If you want to have your sweater wider, make a longer foundation chain at the beginning of front / back panel. If you want to have your sweater narrower, make a shorter foundation chain at the beginning of front / back panel.
2) This pattern is for XS woman size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of chains and rows for the Sweater and as well as making less or more chains in the basic chain.
3) A ch3 at beg of the row COUNTS as a double crochet.
4) A ch4 at beg of the row COUNTS as a treble.
5) The Sweater has these parts:
A) front panel - bottom part
B) front panel - topper part and sleeves
The front and back panel is the same size
length: 50 cm / width 39 cm
back panel
length: 50 cm / width 39 cm
*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.
