Stripe a Pose Sweater

Introducing the Stripe a Pose Sweater—a fun, creative project that is the perfect mix of style and simplicity.

Crocheted with bulky-weight yarn and a large hook, this sweater works up at lightning speed, transforming stitches into a cozy, textural dream.

The two-color moss stitch creates a meditative rhythm, making this project as relaxing to make as it is stylish to wear. Its paneled construction makes for a straight-forward assembly process, while faux-knit edgings and ribbed accents add a touch of sophistication.

Perfect for adventurous beginners, this pattern invites you to unleash your creativity—pick your colors, grab your hook, and watch your next favorite sweater come to life!

This pattern is available in English only and uses standard US crochet terminology.

MATERIALS
• Yarn: For a cozy sweater, stick with bulky weight yarn, ideally in wool or a similar animal fiber for warmth and softness. Wool's elasticity and texture make it perfect for comfy, snuggly sweaters that retain their shape and provide excellent insulation. Choose highly contrasting colors for a bold, striking look, or go for closely related shades to create a subtle, blended effect.
The sample is shown in We Are Knitters The Petite Wool (100% wool; 153 yds / 140 m per 100 g ball) in “Natural” as the main color and “Ochre” as the contrast color.
• Hooks: 7.0 mm (main gauge) hook, 5.0 mm (secondary) hook, or sizes needed to obtain gauge. I’m a tight crocheter, so you may have to go down in hook sizes.
• Notions: Scissors, darning needle, tape measure, 2 stitch markers.
