Elegantly uncomplicated Crochet Sweater Pattern

I love to crochet, especially for other people. Recently, I wanted to make something positively nice for a mentor of mine, so plainly I began to crusade online for free crochet lace sweater patterns. The results were more than a petite bit disappointing. all that was free was either too time lively or didn't look nice or both. I wanted something elegant without taking too much skill or time.

During my search, I stumbled across the website epicurean Crochet. There I found just what I was looking for in the pattern "Uptown downtown Shrug." The shells and criss-cross chains invent gives a lovely touch to any outfit either one is going casual or semi-casual. The most aspect of this garment is that it's practically two patterns in one! The garment can be worn as a long sleeveless springtime sweater or a shorter caplet shrug; all you have to do is flip it around. As a sleeveless sweater, this garment has a lovely collar and a flattering wrap colse to style that looks great on any body type. On cooler days, the garment can also be worn as a caplet shrug; worn in this style, the garment has a longer draping collar that attracts people's concentration to the wearer's face by framing it.

Sweaters Style Casual

Although the garment was beautiful, I was a bit nervous about buying a pattern that I didn't know whatever about. What if it was difficult to understand or had mistakes in sizing? Some patterns can be very difficult to supervene and to understand, and it is leading to be specific to buy patterns only from trusted organizations. I didn't consideration whatever "fishy" about epicurean Crochet, so I decided that the risk was worth it. About a week later, my pattern arrived and it was like Christmas all over again! I started on my task right away. At first I was slightly confused by some of the directions, but once I familiarized myself with the abbreviations and repeated patterns, comprehension the directions was not an issue.

My other fear was that the sizing would be off and I would have invested high-priced time and yarn into a garment that did not fit. The sizes provided for were S (M, L, Xl-2X, 3X-4X, 5X). This broad range aroused my suspicious nature, but the final task alleviated my worries for the sizing, which was based on bust size, was very accurate, especially since the pattern allows some room because it's a wrap around. The pattern suggests using worsted yarn, an I hook, and a J hook. I used Caron plainly soft yarn because it isn't scratchy like some other yarns, which makes it great for clothing. Although, the garment would look lovely in any color, I chose to use the same color that the pattern shows the garment in: sage. The garment turned out splendidly. I positively loved this pattern, and my mentor loved the final project!
