Size Chart & Yarn Requirements

The Snowy Season Cardigan has a very close to close fit with -2.75 to 1.75 inches of positive ease. Choose your size based on your preferred finished measurement. For reference, the model is wearing a medium with a 36″ bust and is 5 feet 6 inches tall.

Please note that yarn amounts are estimates and may vary slightly between different yarn brands and individual tension. It’s always a good idea to have a little extra yarn on hand to avoid running out during your project. Happy crocheting!

Skill Level

Gauge

Body: 13 sts and 10 rows equal to 4″ in body pattern with 5.5mm hook

Ribbing: 10 sts and 9 rows equal to 2″ in sl st/hdc pattern with 4.5mm hook

Before starting your project, it’s advisable to create a gauge swatch. This essential first step ensures that your tension and stitch count align with the pattern’s specifications, which is especially important when the original yarn recommended is unavailable or when a yarn substitution is necessary. Maintaining the recommended gauge is crucial for achieving the desired fit.

To reach the pattern’s required gauge, you may need to adjust your crochet hook size; switching to a different hook style or brand can also make a difference. Keep in mind that not all Worsted Weight #4 yarns are identical, as variations in thickness, drape, and softness can occur.

Colorful skeins of yarn in pink, purple, and orange tones sit beside a knitted swatch on a textured surface, poised for your next snowy season sweater project. Delicate flowers provide backdrop inspiration for your cozy crochet pullover pattern.

For your gauge swatch, I recommend starting with a chain of 20 and working rows of the stitch pattern (alternating 1-row dc and 1-row hdc/sc) and checking your stitch gauge after a few rows of the pattern. If you are on track with the stitch gauge, continue working a few more rows to check the row gauge. For this particular pattern, the row gauge will affect both the sleeve length and the bust measurement, while the stitch gauge will determine the sleeve width and overall length of the sweater.

If you discover you have too many stitches, consider switching to a larger hook size. Conversely, if you have too few stitches, opt for a smaller hook size. Additionally, you can adjust the length of your stitches by pulling up on them or shortening them by tightening your tension.

Construction

The Snowy Season Sweater is crafted in two pieces, beginning at the sleeves and working from one side across to the center. Each sleeve features a gradual increase pattern, and chains are added to each sleeve’s sides to accommodate the sweater’s front and back. Rows are then crocheted to create the front and back width, allowing for a seamless transition between the sleeves and the body of the sweater. Once the front and back pieces are completed, the two sections are seamed together at the back and front. To finish off the look, a “join as you go” band is added to the bottom of the sweater.

Mark Neck Opening

To mark the neck opening, follow these steps:

  • Place each panel with the long sides together, ensuring the right side (RS) is facing up.
  • From the bottom edge of the front panel, count 34 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50) stitches and place a stitch marker in the next stitch. This will designate the front neck opening.
  • For the back panel, count 44 (46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60) stitches from the bottom edge and place a stitch marker in the next stitch to indicate the back neck opening.

This arrangement will result in a front neck depth of 24 stitches and a back neck depth of 14 stitches. You can easily adjust the neck opening depth by seaming more or fewer stitches at the front and back, allowing for a customized fit.

Seaming Directions: Complete for front and back

To join your panels, lay each panel side by side, with the right side facing up. You will work by slip-stitching through the loops to the inside of the panels. Begin by inserting the hook through the blo of st on the right, then insert it through the blo of st on the left. Yarn over behind the piece and draw loop through all loops on the hook.

Continue slip-stitching to the marker in this manner. Fasten off. Try the sweater on to make sure the neck opening has a good fit. Once you are satisfied with the neck depth, weave in tails.

Side Seams

To begin, fold the sweater at the shoulders with the right side (RS) facing. Next, prepare to seam the sides and sleeves together using a whip stitch. Cut a piece of yarn that is double the length needed for the seam, and thread it through a yarn needle. Finally, use the whip stitch technique to securely seam the sides and sleeves together.

Bottom Band

With smaller hook, put a slip knot on the hook, RS facing join yarn to the bottom side seam. The smaller hook will only slightly pull in the band.

Body Edge

Setup Row (RS):

Ch 1, work 1 sc per hdc/sc row, 2 sc per dc row and 1 sc in sl st seam around the bottom edge, sl st in first sc to join—114 (126, 138, 150, 162, 186, 198, 210, 222) sts.

Join-As-You-Go Band

The band is joined as you go to the body edge.

Row 1:

With smaller hook ch 7, 1 hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, sk first st at the edge, sl st in next 2 sts (body edge), turn—6 sts.

Row 2:

Sk sl sts, 1 sl st in blo of each st across, turn—6 sts.

Row 3:

Ch 1, work 1 hdc in blo of each st across, sl st in next 2 sts (body edge), turn—6 sts.

Rows 4-114 (126, 138, 150, 162, 186, 198, 210, 222):

Rep Rows 2 & 3, ending on row 2. With WS facing sl st first and last row together. Fasten off and weave in tails.
