Crochet Wrap Sweater with Shaggy Edging
Hello my crochet Friends!
Who likes to crochet simple tunics, sweaters, vest or cardigans?
With Fall approaching, I love to crochet interesting sweaters and cardigans to my wardrobe.
In this tutorial, I have prepared for you a super easy and simple tutorial for a wrap sweater, which can be worn all year round and which you can perfectly resize to any size.
This sweater is crocheted on the body, it hugs the body nicely - thanks to the wrapping and tying on the side - it can be beautifully adapted to the figure and is wonderfully comfortable to wear.
If you are looking for an easy crochet wrap sweater tutorial, with an easy construction and a simple pattern for beginners, then I think this one might work for you.
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 elegant and timeless piece!
This classic black crocheted sweater is made with cozy yarn Katka and Techno yarn from Ice Yarns, which I fell in love with at first sight and touch and thought it would make the sweater very special.
The sweater has an easy construction, it has a simple format consisting of a rectangle, 2 equal triangles - 2 front pieces, the sleeves are also long rectangles directly crocheted onto the sweater.
The pattern is made up with double crochet stitches and chains.
In the instructions below, you will find the written pattern for free for the Small Woman 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.
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 back panel. If you want to have your sweater narrower, make a shorter foundation chain at the beginning of back panel.
2) This pattern is for SMALL women 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/round COUNTS as a stitch.
4) The Sweater is worked in 3 basic pieces:
A) front parts - triangles
B) back part - rectangle
C) sleeves - rectangle
5) The SWEATER measures:
length: 50 cm / width 30 cm
back panel
length: 50 cm / width 40 cm

Place the sweater so that the front sides are facing each other (inwards).

Sew the first 22 rows on the sides.
Leave 20 rows unsewn - in this place we will crochet the sleeve.
EDGING AND TYING STRING

Tie the yarn in the corner of the front panel.

I recommend crocheting 2 single crochets around each double crochet.

Cut both strands, sew all loose ends.

SLEEVE
The same yarn, the same crochet hook.
Re-join the new yarn on side where is the seam of the front and the back panel.
Crochet in closed rounds, close the round with a slip stitch placed in the top of the first st (ch3).

First, crochet single crochets evenly along the arm hole (80 single crochets evenly all around).
