Skill Level:

Beginner

Pattern Description:

The yoke of this sweater is crocheted from the top-down, raglan stylethis means you can get a perfect custom fit if the man in question is handy.

I've used linked double crochet to produce a smooth, masculine fabric every guy will want to grab and wear. Mixed with lots of great single crochet ribbing, and you've got a fun sweater that looks fantastic.

Gauge:

Note: because many of the instructions are given in inches/cm. rather than # of stitches accurate gauge is especially important. Take the time to make a swatchyou'll enjoy practicing the new stitch and the new technique of joining the ribbing as you go.

Neckband: in sc (blo): 5 sts= 1 in/2.5 cm (length), 24 rows = 4 in/10cm. (width)

Yoke: 14 ldc = 4 in/10cm, 10 rows = 4 in/10 cm.

Body Gauge in sc (blo): 20 sts = 4 in (length), 19 rows = 4 in. (un-stretched width)
