ABOUT

The Follow You Sweater is a timeless, lightweight garment you're going to want to wear day after day! This wardrobe staple features a classic crew neckline, perfectly fitted sleeves, and flattering shaped armholes (so the sleeve seam sits right on the shoulders!) Plus, the pattern offers instructions for both men and women so you can totally get all matchy-matchy with your spouse!

As always, the pdf offers easy to follow instructions with color coded sizes. It also includes helpful diagrams, a short video tutorial and additional instructions for short sleeves!

CONSTRUCTION: This sweater is worked from the bottom up in 4 separate panels and then seamed.

SIZES: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X)

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

HOOKS: 4 mm crochet hook & a 6.5 mm tunisian crochet hook

YARN: I used Soft & Sleek DK by Yarn Bee but don't be fooled by its name! I personally feel that it's closer to a sport weight yarn.

You'll need approx. 1500 (1555, 1700, 1930, 2100) (2250, 2310, 2450, 2600) yards for full length sleeves.

NOTIONS: tape measure, threading needle, stitch markers, scissors

BEHIND THE NAME

When I walked out wearing my finished sweater, Kyle, my husband, said he wanted one too and that was it! Images of him and me adorably strolling around in matching handmade sweaters popped in my mind which then made me think of my favorite "love" song at the time, Follow You by Bring Me The Horizon.
