The Time is Here!
Who’s ready to make a sweater?! Thank you so much for joining this Double Diamonds Sweater Crochet Along! In case you missed it, you can find my intro post about this crochet along, as well as all the necessary information needed, here. This is my first time hosting a CAL, so I’m really excited to get started. Mine is already made, but I'm working behind the scenes on a paid cardigan pattern for those of you who may be interested. 😉
This week we’re going to start with the back panel. I decided to start with the back because it’s the easiest piece since it is all double crochet (US terms) & ribbing. Next week, we’ll do the front. Then the following week we’ll do the sleeves. In the last week, we'll crochet the neck ribbing and put everything together.
Consider becoming a member to receive emails when the next part is available or join my group on Facebook here for CAL releases, pattern help, general crochet talk, & to see what I'm up to! All levels are welcome from very beginners to extreme experts!
