Crochet Sweater with a hoodie, Oversized Textured Hooded Sweater Pattern

It is time for another fun and cozy sweater. Made with a 100% nylon yarn which is the fluffiest… is that a word? Oh well if it isn’t I just made is up.the fluffiest yarn I have used. Anyway, this pattern is fun and easy with minimal shaping, It is literally two big rectangles seamed together and tiny detail for the sleeve before the making a cuff. The yarn so fluffy and fuzzy so the stitch definition is not that great. It can be tricky when watching a video but stitches are visible when crocheting with a naked eye.

This yarn is from LionBrand called Feels like a dream and it is living up to its name. My favourite part of the the yarn is that even thought It is a weight 5 yarn, it does not feel heavy at all. This could be a year around sweater due to the characteristics of the yarn. The sweater will be perfect for the cooler weather at night when you out camping around the bonfire.

I think these yarns would be a great substitute for this project.

Before we begin, here is a video of step by step of how to make this beauty!!

Construction

The sweater is designed with four inches of positive easy to give it a trending look of oversized sweater. It is made up of two panels, back panel is essentially a rectangle. Front panel is similar to the back panel with the same length, the difference is the neck opening.

Sleeves are made top down with tapering at the bottom before adding a cuff. All the parts are seamed together before moving to the hoodie. Hoodie is made by joining yarn from the centre of the front panel and going back and forth for few rows, it measures roughly 14 inches in height. The hoodie is then designed to create a depth for the head to comfortably be covered. The back of the hoodie is marked with a stitch marker to identify where to add an extra stitch for approximately 10 inches from the base of hoodie. The last 4 inches is made with no increases then seamed on top to close it up

The bottom ribbing is then added and pocket later. The pocket is made last before seaming it to the front panel. Positioning of the pocket is important. It has to be placed in the middle of the sweater, ensuring that you have the same distance on either side of the panels
