Rowan Ridge Sweater

"Rowan Ridge is an easy crochet sweater pattern worked lengthways in four simple rectangles with no shaping. The repeating stitch pattern creates subtle vertical texture, while ribbed cuffs and hem and a classic boat neckline give the sweater a cosy, relaxed finish. Designed with 4–6” of positive ease and available in sizes S–3XL, Rowan Ridge works beautifully in a solid DK yarn or a self-patterning yarn to create vertical stripes. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS DK (#3) yarn: 1360, (1491, 1651, 1767, 1922, 2056) yds 5mm Crochet Hook 4mm Crochet Hook (for ribbing) Dressmaker Pins (for seaming) Stitch Markers Tape Measure Scissors Yarn Needle /GAUGE 20 stitches and 16 rows = 4″ x 4″ (10cm x 10cm) in the Loop Stitch pattern.
