Cozy Unisex Textured Crochet Sweater Pattern

Cozy Crochet Sweater Pattern: the unisex textured sweater for women and men

Cozy is the crochet sweater pattern my customers make for the people they love, and then again for themselves. It is a unisex crochet sweater built from two textured stripes that alternate as you work, in two colors. The pattern writes the women's sweater and the men's sweater separately, down to how many stripe repeats each one takes. I am Stacey, a teacher, and Cozy is written the way I teach, as a lesson: photos for every step, so you can check your work against mine as you go.

This is a digital PDF crochet pattern, available as an instant download after purchase, not a finished sweater or a printed pattern. No physical item will be shipped.

Crochet pattern features:

• Step-by-step photos for every step, so you can compare your stitches to mine as you go, which means the textured stripes never leave you guessing where a stitch belongs.
• Two textured stripes worked in two colors, so plain rows turn into rich textured stitchwork, which means a sweater that looks far more complicated than it is to make.
• Unisex sizing for women and men in one PDF, with the women's and men's versions both written out, so one pattern fits whoever you are making it for, which means it is as much a mens crochet sweater pattern as a women's one.
• Seven widest chest sizes in one PDF, so your size is included at no extra cost, which means one pattern that fits you, not a size range you have to buy twice.
• Size-as-you-go tips throughout, including adding stripes for body length, working sleeves to your own arm length, and adding or subtracting band rows in multiples of 8 to size beyond the listed range, so you fit the sweater while you make it, which means tall, petite, and in-between makers all get their fit.
• Bands you can cinch your way, with a smaller hook for the bands or optional elastic cord threaded through the waistband and cuffs, so the edges sit the way you like, which means a finished fit you control at the very end.
• A printer friendly version is included, so you can print just the instructions, which means a clean copy for your project bag.
• Make it for yourself or sell your finished sweaters, so the pattern can pay for itself, which means Cozy is welcome at your market table too. If you do sell, I ask that you credit Mermaidcat Designs as the designer.

"easy to follow pattern with pictures for every step and lots of options to customize to your liking! made this sweater for my boo for vday and he loved it" Guadalupe S., verified review

Sizing and fit:

Widest chest measurements: 30-32 in (76-81 cm), 33-35 in (84-89 cm), 36-38 in (91-97 cm), 39-41 in (99-104 cm), 42-44 in (107-112 cm), 45-47 in (114-119 cm), and 48-50 in (122-127 cm).

Choose the size that contains your widest chest measurement. The pattern includes size-as-you-go tips for best fit, including how to make it in any size, even beyond what is written, so you can adjust the body, the length, and the neck opening while you make it, which means the sweater is shaped to your body, not a size chart's best guess.

Materials:

• 5.5 mm crochet hook. Optional 5 mm or 4.5 mm hook for the bands.
• Worsted-weight yarn, Knit Picks Dishie in Inlet and Clarity, the two colors used for this design. By chest size in the order listed above, of EACH color: 800, 1,000, 1,200, 1,400, 1,600, 1,800, 2,000 yards. That is 1,600 to 4,000 yards across both colors.
• Any worsted-weight yarn that meets the pattern's gauge works.
• Optional elastic cord: 2-5 yards, to cinch the waistband and cuffs.

Questions I hear most about Cozy:

• Is it right for my skill level? Cozy is an intermediate pattern, or one for an ambitious advanced beginner. It is built from double crochet, half double crochet, and front post double crochet, and both textured stripes are photographed step by step. The construction is two flat panels, a collar, and sleeves, so if you are comfortable with those stitches, the photos carry you through the texture.
• I am making it for a man. How do I choose his size and version? Measure his widest chest and pick the listed range that contains it, then follow the men's version written in the pattern. The men's version is written for a tall man; add or remove stripes to match the wearer's body length.
• What yarn should I buy? Worsted weight in two colors, in the per-size amounts above. The samples use Knit Picks Dishie in Inlet and Clarity; any worsted-weight yarn that meets the gauge works.
• Is Cozy a good sweater to make as a gift? Yes. It is written for women and men, the length is worked to the wearer, and makers gift it often; the reviewer above made hers for her partner for Valentine's Day and he loved it.
• Can I sell the sweaters I make? Yes, you may sell your handmade creations from this pattern. If you do sell, I ask that you credit Mermaidcat Designs as the designer.
