Sun - Kissed Crochet Sweater

"Sun-Kissed Comfort: The Off-the-Shoulder Crochet Summer Sweater You Need (and Can Make!) (XS – 3XLarge) Let’s start with the obvious: it’s off-the-shoulder. Cue instant glam, breathability, and serious sun-on-your-shoulders moments. Who needs straps when you’ve got style? But don’t worry, there’s plenty of substance behind the sass: Made in ONE piece – Say goodbye to puzzling out which sleeve goes where. You’ll whip this up as a single rectangular panel, then give it a quick seam at the end. Sizes for ALL bodies – From Extra Small up to 3X Large, everyone gets to flaunt a little shoulder this summer. Beginner friendly – The stitches? Only US single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc). If you can work your way through a row of Sc and Dc, (UK – DC and TR) you’re golden. The Yarn: DROPS Cotton Light This sweater is made with DROPS Cotton Light, a dreamy blend that’s soft, cool, and perfect for sultry summer days. The yellow brings all the summer cheer, while the beige adds sophistication—the dynamic duo you didn’t know you needed. Grab your trusty 5mm/ H crochet hook, a glass of something cold, and you’re ready to roll! The slightly larger hook size gives just enough drape for a flattering fit and a delicate fabric—no stiff sweaters allowed. "
