Cat Mad Crochet

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

True to form, Adia asked for another relaxed fit, cozy, ‘90s inspired sweater. This one is crafted with Juniper Moon Farm Herriot Fine yarn in sienna with ochre stripes. This is an alpaca yarn with a bit of nylon. Adia purchased a bunch of it when a local yarn store closed up shop. We miss the store and the wonderful proprietor, but no alpaca sweater has ever been cheaper to make with first time used yarn. 

The pattern is not a full pattern with various sizes and yarn requirements. It is my pattern notes, the increases and decreases, and suggestions on how to craft your own sweater. There will be math. There will be swatching. There will be designing. It is probably best if you have some crochet experience to create this sweater to your own specifications because you will be creating a made to measure sweater in your own choice of yarn and with your own choice of hook size with just my guidance.

This sweater can be made as designed with stripes, with all one color, or with scraps of fun colored yarns. You can make it baggy, as I did, or fitted. You could do short sleeves or belled sleeves. I even make a note of how to do a round yoke instead of a raglan. There are a lot of choices to enable you to make your own custom sweater.

I hope you have fun with my notes and create a sweater that is perfect for you and your needs. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Happy crafting!
