    The Weekend Snuggle Sweater is the ultimate lounge sweater! Crocheted with WeCrochet's Gloss DK, this easy crochet pullover is perfect for lazy weekends and long enough to wear over leggings!

    For this design, I used the stitch pattern of Single Crochet Columns (also called the crochet mesh stitch) which comprises of only single crochets and chains. It’s nice and simple stitch combination that’s beginner friendly! No need for complicated stitch charts yay!

    I love how Single Crochet Columns give the overall appearance of a dense crochet fabric but when you look closer you’ll notice that the chains create an airy and open fabric.

    The Single Crochet Column stitch has incredible drape (check out the pocket cardigan version - In the Clouds Cardigan!) and is the key to creating the slouchy look! The Weekend Snuggle Sweater is a great seasonal transition pullover for any season (I’ve worn this crochet sweater in spring, fall and winter and it would be great for chilly summer nights!) as this stitch texture will keep your warm without making you overheat.

    Sweater Construction

    This sweater is crocheted in 4 panels – front, back and 2 sleeves and only uses 2 different stitches throughout the entire pattern – single crochet and single crochet two together!

    For both the sleeves and the body are worked from the bottom up. First, we’ll crochet the ribbing and the extend the body and sleeves to your desired length. The written pattern also includes alteration notes if you’d like to make your Weekend Snuggle Sweater shorter or longer!

    Once we have all 4 pieces, we’ll crochet the neckline ribbing and then sew everything together. When sewing crochet pieces together to key to getting a clean and neat ‘finish’ is to make sure your stitches have the right tension. Too tight and your seams will pucker, too loose and you’ll have holes in between your stitches! I recommend sewing your pieces together on a flat surface to make it easier to sew even stitches and I always use a bent tip tapestry needle.

    If you’ve never tried a bent tip tapestry needle it will change your crochet life! The end of the needle has a bend in it so the tip of the needle flicks up where most tapestry needles are straight. The bend in the needle makes it super easy to pick up strands of yarn and I can sew so much faster with them! Seriously, it takes me half the time to sew crochet pieces together with a bent tip tapestry needle compared to a straight one!

    Design Inspiration

    We’ve been having a strangely cold summer in New Zealand so I’ve been feeling all the cosy vibes! I really wanted to design a long sweater that was perfect for snuggling on the couch or you can pair it with jeans and ankle boots for an easy weekend look.

    I also wanted the sweater to look modern and be super wearable to the point where people would be surprised to learn that it was handmade! I think crochet often has the reputation of looking ‘crafty’ or ‘dated’ but this sweater proves that you can wear crochet at any age!

    There are also added alteration instructions to make this sweater as long or as cropped as you want. This crochet pullover would make such a cute sweater dress or use a cotton yarn for a light cropped summer sweater.  There’s also a split hem as an added fun detail but you can sew all the down the ribbing for a normal sweater!

    YARN

    This project uses the yarn Gloss DK from WeCrochet which is a 30% Silk + 70% Merino Wool blend. WeCrochet is KnitPicks new sister site that’s designed specifically for crocheters! It’s such a wonderful resource full of free crochet patterns, hooks and kits and the best part they provide crochet swatches of all the yarn! I’ve never seen any other site with this feature and its honestly so helpful for all of us crocheters when shopping for yarn online.

    Gloss DK is a luxurious blend of silk and merino with a soft, pillowy feel and a slight sheen. I used the colour Kenai which is a gorgeously vibrant green-teal which is one of my favourite colours! There’s a range of 10 colours and you can also get the bare hanks of this yarn and dye your very own colour way.

    Since this is a silk yarn and I used such a vibrant colour, there was a bit of colour transfer on my hands as I was crocheting but it washes right off! I find that silk yarns tend to bleed (due to the nature of the fibre) but after I steamed and blocked the sweater there wasn’t any colour transfer at all 🙂 When using natural fibres I always recommend hand washing with a good quality wool wash so that your garment lasts as long as possible.

    If you’d like an easy to care for machine-washable sweater, Swish DK is a great superwash merino substitute or you could use CotLin (cotton and linen blend) for a cool and airy summer sweater!

    One thing to note, is that Gloss DK is quite thick for a DK / Light (3) yarn. It’s not quite a worsted weight yarn but it’s very, very, VERY close. So when looking for substitutes make sure to pick a thicker DK yarn so you can easily meet gauge 🙂

    Weekend Snuggle Sweater Crochet Pattern

    BACK PANEL

    *The body panels are crocheted from the bottom up. The ribbing is worked vertically, and then we crochet along the long edge of the ribbing to create the back panel.

    BACK RIBBING

    FOUNDATION CHAIN: Ch 9.

    ROW 1: SC into 2nd ch from hook, SC in each st until end, turn.
    <8>

    ROW 2: Ch 1, BLO SC 7, SC in last st, turn.
    <8>

    Repeat ROW 2 until ROW 69(73, 77, 85, 93, 101, 109).

    Do not fasten off! We will now work along the long edge of the band. Each row equals 1 stitch.

    BACK

    ROW 1: Ch 1, SC in 1st row, *ch 1, sk 1 row, SC in next row; rep from * until end, turn.
    <69(73, 77, 85, 93, 101, 109)>

    Repeat ROW 2 until ROW 80(80, 80, 84, 84, 84, 88)

    *ALTERATION NOTE:  You can add or remove rows to make your sweater longer or shorter.

    FRONT PANEL

    Repeat ‘BACK PANEL’ instructions until ROW 70(70, 70, 74, 74, 74, 78).

    *ALTERATION NOTE:  If you altered the length of the back panel, crochet until you are 10 rows short of the total rows in your back panel. E.g. if you crocheted 54 rows for the back panel, crochet 44 rows for the front panel.

    Do not fasten off! We’ll now crochet the shoulder shaping.

    SHOULDER SHAPING

    Counting from your crochet hook, place a stitch marker in the 28th(30th, 32nd, 36th, 40th, 44th, 48th) st.
    *The stitch marker should be in a chain space, not a SC.

    ROW 1: Ch 1, SC2tog, SC, *ch 1, sk 1 st, SC; rep from * until end, turn.
    <26(28, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46)>
    *You can place a st marker into the SC2tog to make it easier to find. In Row 2, the SC2tog is the ‘last’ st of the row.

    ROW 2: Ch 1, *SC, ch 1, sk 1 st; rep from * until 2 sts left, SC2tog, turn.
    <25(27, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45)>

    ROW 3: Ch 1, SC2tog, SC, *ch 1, sk 1 st, SC; rep from * until end, turn.
    <24(26, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44)>
    *If using the st marker, place it in the SC2tog.

    <19(21, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39)>

    SLEEVES

    (make 2)
    *The sleeves are worked from the cuff up. Like the body panels, we’ll crochet the ribbing vertically and then crochet the sleeve directly on to the edge of the ribbing.

    *If you want a split at the side seam (as pictured) sew from the top of the ribbing. If you don’t want a split, sew from the bottom of the ribbing.

    Whip stitch the top of the sleeves to the body.

    Whip stitch the neckline ribbing evenly around the open edge of neckline.

    Sew the edges of the neckline ribbing together.

    Weave in all of your ends.

      can you use any DK weight yarn? I have a closet full of yarn, but every time I see a pattern I have to buy new yarn and I am going broke! I love the sweater and have two granddaughters I would love to make it for.

        Hi Lillian, I'd suggest swatching your yarn to see if you meet gauge but any DK yarn should work 🙂 Grace

          Hi Rhiannon,

          Just repeat Rows 2 - 9 until you reach your desired length. This stitch can stretch out quite a lot though (depending on the type of yarn you use) so just take that into account.

          Grace 🙂

        Hi Fatma, if you're using a thin yarn and a small hook you'd need to completely rewrite the pattern! If you only have thin yarn e.g. a sport/Fine(2) yarn I'd suggest trying to hold 2 strands together and using the hook recommended to see if you can meet gauge and then adjust accordingly.

      Hi Grace.

      I an struggling with the second shoulder section - when I get to the end of row 2 there are 3 stitches left. I start in a SC with an even number of stitches. Can you please help - I tried numerous times and can’t get it right.
      Regards,

        Hi Rujeanne, It sounds like you might be counting the ch 1 as a stitch. At the end of Row 2 the last st is the SC2tog from Row 1 - not the ch 1. It might look like you've left a stitch empty but as long as your last st is in the SC2tog and you have the right number of total stitches for your size you're on the right track 🙂 Once we attach the collar all of the edges will 'smooth' out.
        I hope this helps,

      Love the pattern but could you help me out. I'm puzzled with the two different number of stitches for sizing -first at the top of page when explaining how the sizing works you have eg. M 87 ch and then down to the actual pattern you have M 77. Perhaps I'm missing something. Thankyou

        Hi Barbara, the notes just describe how to read the pattern - they aren't the actual stitch counts. You'll notice that since the body of the pattern is crocheted onto the ribbing there isn't a foundation chain for the body portion.

So far I've made two for myself and am in the process of making one for my daughter. I've just taken up crocheting again because of co-vid after twenty years and I can tell you this beats crocheted squares. 😃.

      Hi Grace

      Loving this pattern! I’m doing the sleeves now and wondered where the pattern says something like Row 19-22 (which is 4 rows) and says rep rows 2-4, does it mean do 3 or 4 rows? Eg 2,3,4,2? I’m confused.

      Reply
      • Grace says

        August 13, 2020 at 4:37 am

        Hi Bridget, when the pattern says from Row 19-22: rep rows 2-4, rows 2-4 have the exact same stitch pattern. You follow the stitch the pattern that's used in rows 2-4, 4 times for rows 19-22. e.g. In your example of 2,3,4,2 - remember that since they have the same stitch pattern row 2=3=4 so essentially you are just repeating row 2, 4 times.

        Hi Karina, this pattern uses a DK/ Light (3) yarn so a bulky (6) will completely change the gauge and make the sweater a lot larger. You can follow the pattern as a guide but you'll need to alter your stitch counts and rows to get the sweater to fit you.

        Hi Jordyn,
        The sleeves for this pattern should be full length - it sounds like you might not have the same gauge as the pattern! If not you'll need to alter the pattern (probably through adding more rows) but if you have different gauge I can't guarantee that your sweater will look like the sample!

      Hi I'm making this sweater in the size 2XL and I'm working on the shoulder shaping and noticed for the neckline you say to count 14 stitches and than start the opposite shoulder but my numbers aren't matching I have the 42 stitches for the one shoulder and when I count over 14 stitches from the stitch marker and do my first shoulder shaping row I get 53 stitches. Since this isn't my first sweater I know I would just add more stitches to the 14 count till I got the 42 stitches for the shoulder shaping but since this pattern is stated to be easy and seen as beginner friendly a beginner may not know to adjust the neckline so some more notes on the neckline count might be a nice addition.

        For Rows 6-8 say you want to SC 2 (so SC into the next 2 stitches), not 2SC (you shouldn't be placing 2SCs into the first st) so you'll have one stitch left at the end of the row.

        The stitch used in this sweater is reversible so either side can be the 'right side'. Just pick whichever side you prefer and then be consistent when sewing your pieces together.

      Hi! Do you have any tips on how to calculate decreases in the front and back panels in order to add shaping to it? My bust is larger than my lower body, so if I make this as-is I'm worried about tenting.

        Hi,
        The main two things to take into account are 1. How many stitches wide you will increase of your increase and 2. Over how many rows you will increase. Since this pattern is worked from the bottom up you'll be increasing the width of your panels as you get closer to the bust portion. E.g. If you want to increase by 40 stitches over 20 rows you'll need to add 2 stitches in every row (40/20 = 2).
        I hope this helps,

          Thank you so much, Grace, for this beautiful pattern! The poster of this question asked exactly the question I wanted to ask, so thank you for that answer, too.

          I do have an additional question regarding increasing to accommodate a large bust. I guess this also applies to shoulders, as I have wide shoulders. Would I ease just the front section for the bust? Or should I ease both front and back sections?

            Hi Shannon,

            If you have wider shoulders you can always just size up in the body and the crochet the sleeves a bit shorter (probably 1 - 2", but I'd just measure yourself and crochet sleeves that length to be sure). That way the drop shoulder seams will be further apart and you should have more room across your back/shoulders.

            I hope this helps,

        On the neckline shaping rows I'd crochet fewer stitches and skip more stitches in between the shoulder shaping sections. You'll need to experiment a bit to see how large you want to gap to be.

        Hi Amelia,
        You can recognise each row from the ridges running along the ribbing - in between 2 ridges you should have 2 rows. If you've never crocheted BLO SC before I'd suggest watching some in depth stitch tutorials on YouTube so you can learn how to count rows.

            As long as you are picking up 2 strands of yarn along the edge of the ribbing, your stitches should be secure. You don't need to worry about finding the perfect hole - as long as your stitches are spaced out evenly it will look nice and neat.

        Hi Bee,

        Recommended hook size changes for every type of stitch in order to get the correct drape, so you can't always trust the labels on the yarn. You can use yarnsub.com to find yarns similar to the sample yarn. Otherwise I'd recommend crocheting a swatch seeing if you can meet gauge and then purchase a sweater quantity of the yarn you want.

        I hope this helps,

      Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful pattern. I am making them for Christmas gifts for my Sister and my three daughters. The pattern was very easy to follow and grasp and works lovely as it is. I did adjust the neck opening to make it a little larger as my daughters don't like anything up close to their necks. I did this by stopping 10 rows sooner on the front before neck shaping. I shaped the neck and then did another 10 rows of 2-9, it worked fabulously 🙂
      Thanks again. I will try more of your patterns.

      have just finished the back, and am now thinking i like a cardy instead!
      So for the front (doing size small)instead of chain 73 across, should i split it to about 36 for both front panels of cardy?

      Hello! I was hoping to receive some clarification if possible. The pattern says to use whip stitch seams, but I am wondering whether those seams are made with the right or wrong sides facing. I would also love to know which loops you seamed through for the tops of the rows. I know these are nitpicky details but I'd really appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks so much for the pattern and your help!

      So I just started making this sweater and have completed the ribbing and am working up the back panel, might be a dumb question but it says "ch1, sk 1, sc" at the beginning of each row and repeat, im noticing that as I am doing that it's starting to taper almost like a decrease. Was this just a typo amd I shouldn't be skipping the first stitch in each row?

      Does this pattern use moss stitch? It seems like you skip each chain and sc in each sc. Is that right? I'm a little confused

      I need help! I am working on the front panel, I am doing 69 across on the back panel and I think I’m supposed to be doing 70 across on the front panel. If so my numbers aren’t adding up, I can’t seem to get the stitches to line up. I go through the steps, ch 1, sc in first st, ch 1, sk st, sc in next st…I go all the way across and I can only get to stitch 69 which is a sc then I have 1 stitch left which I’m supposed to skip but I can’t. I’m very confused help please.
