There is so much beautiful sock yarn available, and it is such a great weight for crochet garments! So I designed this simple crochet sweater for sock-weight yarn. It is a top-down yoked sweater constructed in one piece, with no seams and no turning-chains at the end of the rounds. It is a helix, spiraling around with the front side always facing you.

To make this sweater you will need to know how to chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and foundation single crochet.

You might want to embellish the edges with beads. I like how beads give a little weight to the bottom hem of a light weight sweater. The pattern includes a link to a video tutorial I made to show how I attached the beads.

It is fast to make, and fun too, as we can stop and try it on at any point along the way. I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did.
