Glitter Puff Sweater

This is a digital pattern, delivered to your email as a PDF file.

Sweater construction

Glitter Puff Sweater is worked from the top down, allowing you to adjust the body and sleeve lengths to fit.

The neckband is worked back and forth in single crochet through the back loops only, then joined before beginning the yoke. Fold the neckband down and crochet both edges together when starting the yoke, or fold it down and sew it to the wrong side at the end.

The yoke is worked in the round with increases for the puff sleeves. Join each round with a slip stitch.

The body and sleeves are worked in half double crochet and finished with ribbing (glitter ribbing on the cuffs). Join each round with a slip stitch.
