Wrap yourself in comfort with this cozy ribbed crochet sweater that’s designed to look like knit – but made entirely with crochet! This oversized modern sweater features loose sleeves, a relaxed fit, and a ribbed neckline. The magic is in the stitch combo: back loop slip stitches paired with back loop double crochets give it that chunky, knit-look texture. Beginners, fear not! Once you master the base rows, the stitch repeat becomes easy and relaxing. Work the sweater lengthwise for a flattering drape, so matching gauge is essential. Use a soft DK (weight 3) yarn and a 5mm hook, and be sure to keep those slip stitches nice and loose. The simple silhouette shines with a beautiful ribbed texture, making this a wardrobe staple you’ll love wearing all season. Comes in sizes XS to 5XL – find the free written pattern on the For the Frills blog!
