Crochet Sweater Details
The Cranberry Biscotti crochet sweater pattern begins at the turtleneck and is worked from the top-down in a circular yoke. I love this crochet sweater style because you keep working rounds until the sweater is large enough.
You can try it on a crochet top-down sweater as you go. The sleeves are separated from the body and then worked separately. Keep working rounds until the sweater and sleeves are long enough.
I absolutely love the yarn I used for this design. It’s so soft and cozy that you won’t want to take this crochet sweater off! I made 2 sweaters in Swish worsted from WeCrochet; the small in Garnet Heather and the medium in Rainforest Heather. They have so many gorgeous colours to choose from.
