Chonky Sweater Tutorial

Here is a fun guideline of how I attacked this CHONKY crop sweater!

Materials:

- Vel-Luxe by Lion Brands in the colors Asphalt and Harbor Mist

- 19mm Crochet Hook

- Yarn Needle

- Scissors

Pattern Process:

- Measure the length ( Middle of your neck to the small of your back )

- Measure the width ( Hip to Hip )

- Measure the shoulder straps ( Hip to middle of stomach )

- Measure sleeve length ( Top of shoulder to wrist )

- Measure sleeve width ( This is designed to be bulky so add around 2 inches to your measurement )

Back Square:

1) With the color asphalt, Ch the length of the width measured, in the 3rd ch from the hook 1 dc, dc in each ch across.

2) Ch 2 and turn, 1 dc in each st across.

3- ?) Repeat for #2 until you have reached half of the length measured. Do not cut your working yarn because we will be using that strand to make the shoulder straps.

Shoulder Straps:

1) Starting with the working yarn from the back square, ch 2 and turn, 1 dc until you reach the measurement of the shoulder straps.

2) Ch 2 and turn, 1 dc across.

3-?) Repeat row #2 until you reach the length measured.

Repeat this process on the opposite side for the second shoulder strap.
