Abbreviations:

This pattern uses US notations.

• st = stitch
• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• dc = double crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc2tog = double crochet 2 stitches together (decrease)
• sc2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together (decrease)
• yo = yarn over
• skip = miss
• sl st = slip stitch

Notes:

Work instructions between [] the indicated number of times or until the end of the row / round.
The final number of stitches is indicated at the end of the row / round between < >.
The turning ch 1, ch 2 don’t count as stitches throughout the pattern except if mentioned otherwise.
The pattern is written in crochet shorthand. For example:

• “sc 1” means to single crochet in the next stitch,
• “sc 2” means to single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches,
• and “2 sc” means to single crochet twice in the next st.
  Sweater is worked in joined rounds from the top downwards.
  Piece is divided at underarms then body and sleeves are worked separately downwards.
  Sweater is worked in Sc/Dc pattern and a variety of pattern sts. The Sc/Dc pattern is always worked with A. The other pattern stitches are worked with B, C, or D, as indicated in the pattern stitch explanation. All shaping is worked in the A-colored sections.

Special stitches:

• Puff stitch = yo, insert hook in indicated st, yo, pull up a loop, [yo, insert hook in same st, yo, pull up a loop] 4 times, yo, pull through all 11 loops on the hook.
• Bead stitch = The bead stitch is similar to a puff stitch but done horizontally. It’s worked up around a dc stitch.

Bead stitch = Work dc in indicated stitch, [yo, working around the dc post just made pull up a loop] 5 times, yo and pull through the all 11 loops on the hook.

• Bobble stitch = [yo, insert hook in indicated st, yo and pull up a loop. Yo, pull through two loops] 5 times in the same space, yo and pull through all loops 6.
• Foundation single crochet =ch 2, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through first loop (making a “chain”). Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.

*Insert hook into previous “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through first loop (making a “chain”). Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.

Repeat from * until you reached the desired number of stitches. If you are not familiar with this technique, I recommend this very helpful tutorial by Joy of Motion Crochet.

Construction

The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. The yoke is worked first, then joined under the arms to work the body, leaving the stitches for the sleeves on the sides. Finally, you’ll go back to join the yarn at the armholes and make the sleeves.

Repeated Stitch Patterns

The contrasting color sections are always identical while all the shaping is done in the main color sections (color A).

Find the detailed explanation for these repeated sections here, they will be referred to by double puff, bead and bobble waves section throughout the pattern.

Double puff section (worked in color B)

Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 st), skip 1, [dc, make a puff st in the skipped st, ch 1 to close, skip 1] around to last st, hdc, sl st in the 2nd ch to join.

Round 2: Ch 2, [skip space before puff st, dc in top of puff st, make a puff st in skipped space, ch 1 to close] around, hdc in the 2nd ch, sl st to join.

Bead section (worked in color C)

Round 1: Ch 2, [bead st (counts as 2 stitches), skip 1] around, join with a sl st.

Bobble waves section (worked with color A and color D)

Work all sc stitches in color A and all bobbles in color D.

Tip: You can work this section using either tapestry crochet (the yarn color not in use is worked over by the current color and it will sit within the stitches being worked) or Fair Isle (the yarn color not in use is carried in the back (inside of the sweater)). I used the Fair Isle method as a personal preference.

Round 1: With color A ch 1, [with color D bobble, with color A sc 7] around, sl st to join.

Round 2: With color A ch 1, sc around, sl st to join.
Round 3: With color A ch 1, sc 2, with color D bobble, [with color A sc 3, with color D bobble] until last st, with color A sc, sl st to join.
Round 4: Repeat Round 2.
Round 5: With color A ch 1, sc 4, [with color D bobble, with color A sc 7], with color D bobble, with color A sc 3, sl st to join.

The Actual Sweater Crochet Pattern

All rounds are worked in color A except repeated stitch pattern sections which are worked in their respective colors. For clarity purposes, color changes are not indicated throughout the pattern.
