Tip:

When starting your project, choose the right yarn to enhance the ripple effect and ensure a beautiful, lasting finish.

Material Needed:

• Yarn
• Crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Darning needle

Starting the Sweater:

• Begin with a slip knot.
• Chain 68. If you want a shorter or cropped sweater, chain 57 instead.
• Make sure the foundation chain count is correct.
• Work into the back loops of the chains, starting from the second chain from the hook.
• Work 67 more chains to complete the foundation chain.

Row 1:

• Work into the back bumps of the foundation chains.
• Insert hook into the second chain and complete a single crochet.
• Form a stacked single crochet to create a fake double crochet.
• In the same back bump as the stacked single crochet, work another double crochet.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.
• Work four double crochets into the next four back bumps.
• Skip the next two bumps, then work four more double crochets into the next four bumps.
• Next, work three double crochets into the following bump (all in one bump).
• Repeat the pattern: four double crochets, skip two back bumps, four double crochets, and then three double crochets in one bump until you reach the end of the row.

• In the last back bump, work an increase (two double crochets in the same back bump).

Row 2 to End of Row 5:

• Turn your work and begin row 2 with a stacked single crochet into the first stitch.
• Repeat the pattern from Row 1 for all rows until the end of row 5:
• Four double crochets, skip two stitches, four double crochets, then three double crochets in one stitch.
• Finish each row with an increase in the last stitch.
• Repeat row 2 until you reach the end of row 5, making sure to correctly count stitches, and ensure you are not adding or missing any stitches.

Adding a New Color and Continuing the Pattern:

• After row 5, chain one and cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
• Attach a new yarn color and turn your work as if starting a new row.
• Insert your hook into the first double crochet of the round, secure the new yarn, and begin working with it.
• Repeat the pattern that was done in rows 2 to 5.
• Keep repeating row 2, alternating colors every five rows (row 6 to 10).
• Keep working in this manner until you reach row 35 or 45, depending on the size you are making.

Assembling the Panels:

• Once you have the required number of rows, fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
• Make another panel identical to the first.
• To connect the panels, ensure the direction of the patterns matches and use slip stitches to join them together from stitch 1 to stitch 28 on each side.

Shoulder and Neck:

• Count eight rows from each side and mark the points with stitch markers.
• Connect the shoulder sections using slip stitches, working two slip stitches into each row up to the marked stitch (16 slip stitches in total).
• This will form the holes for the head and shoulders.

Working on the Sleeves:

• Flip the sweater so that the stitching isn’t visible.
• Attach the second color and start working on the sleeves by picking any stitch and working single crochets around.
• At the chain space, work two single crochets.
• Continue single crochets all around, with 56 single crochets for the round.
• Slip stitch into the first single crochet to finish the round.
• Chain one, repeat the pattern for the sleeve, and alternate colors every five rows.

Finishing Touches:

• Weave in all ends with a darning needle after completing the sleeves.
• Remove all stitch markers.
