An easy to wear sweater made just that little bit special by the inclusion of an eye catching motif panel running down the center front.
You’ll also find flattering details like the sweatheart neckline and three-quarter length sleeves.
The main stitch used is extended single crochet, which makes for a soft and fluid fabric.

The pattern is fully written out, there is a detailed schematic and also additional charts for the motifs if you prefer working them that way.
The motifs are easy to make, using only chain and dc (UK: treble) sts. The sweater pieces use only chain, slip stitch and extended single crochet (UK: extended double crochet) stitches. There are instructions on how to work this stitch included in the pattern.

The pattern is written using US crochet terms, and there is a table to help you convert to UK crochet terms if needed.
