MARK THE COLLAR

We will need to mark the collar so as to work on it easier, so place a stitch marker on the first or last sc you made.

Place the next st marker in the 10(20,20,20) sc stitch

Where the stitch markers lay is out front of the crochet sweater. We will do decreases and increases. 

So now, decr by hdc two stitches tog and slst into the first stitch marked sc on the collar, slst to the next sc to begin the next row. 

Slst 2 stitches tog to make another decr. And slst all the way down as normal.

Rep this till the next st marker, after that st marker, you will work 10(20,20,20) normal rows. 

Following this, we will start to incr at the next stitch marked sc. 

To incr, place two hdc stitches in the same stitch and 2 slst stitches in the same stitch. We will incr rill the last st marker. 

When you are done increasing, ch 1 and turn, work 15(19,23,27) rows to match the other side, ch 1 and cut. The front portion is all down. 

BACK BODY PANEL

To make the back of this crochet sweater, rep everything we did for the front. BUT, do not increase or decrease anywhere. 

When you are done, turn the sweater inside out so the RS are facing each other and you have the WS facing you. 

Leave 20(25,30,35) stitches on each side making a total of 40(50,60,70) for the arm hole and sew the sides closed. DO this for both sides. 

Once you are done, turn the work again so the RS is facing you. 

Connect the yarn on the underarm section of the sweater, and with the 5.5mm crochet hook, 

Ch46(56,66,76) slst into the first 10 stitches with a 3.00 mm crochet hook, place a stitch marker on the 10th stitch, switch back to the 5.5mm crochet hook for the rest of the ch. Remember to work in the BLO.

When you read the last st, slst to the available or first st of the arm hole to join the row, to begin the next row, slst to the next st of the arm hole and start the slst row.

Rep this for the whole sleeve, to close the sleeve, turn the crochet sweater inside out and sew it closed.

DO this for both sleeves.

At the end, weave in the ends, and your crochet sweater is all complete!
