The Chunky Balloon Sweater is a great beginner crochet pattern. The sweater only consists of single crochet and double crochet and is made in one pieces, top down. It has a super comfy, loose fit and cute balloon-shaped sleeves.
The sweater works up quickly due to the thick yarn and you can try it on as you go and get a glimpse of your new sweater. The pattern contains information for easy adjustment of the both body and sleeve length and for making the sweater in either one or two colors.
The pattern includes:
- Pattern written in English (US) terms with UK stitches listed for reference

SIZE GUIDE - Pattern includes 2 sizes (due to the oversized fit):
