for a size small. You can adjust it for00:01:12
your size and explain how to in the00:01:14
video. So, without further ado, here's00:01:15
how to crochet your own simple yet cozy00:01:17
quarter zip pullover sweater. This is00:01:20
where the sweater starts to take shape.00:01:21
We're starting with the shoulder and00:01:23
working towards the center so the two00:01:24
front panels can kiss at the center.00:01:30
We're all going to grab our category 400:01:31
yarn and make a slip knot. Then we're00:01:34
all going to grab our 6 mm hook. We're00:01:38
going to chain in multiples of three00:01:40
measuring from the top of our shoulder00:01:41
down to our waist or your hips if you00:01:43
want full length. The instructions are00:01:44
going to be the same no matter the00:01:45
length. I'm making a chain 51. That's00:01:48
cropped. That's just about 13 in or 3300:01:50
cm for me. Measure this chain against00:01:52
your body as you're making it so that00:01:53
the length feels right for layering. And00:01:55
make sure you jot down this number for00:01:56
the second panel and the back panel as00:01:58
well. When we have our chain, we're00:02:00
going to place the tail end at our00:02:01
shoulder. Now, place your stitch marker00:02:03
into the chain in multiples of three at00:02:05
the tail end that's nearest to the00:02:07
corner of our underarm. Now, from the00:02:09
marker to the tail is going to be our00:02:11
set stitch section. Mine is in my 18th00:02:13
stitch, and that's just about 4 and 1/200:02:15
in or 11 cm. Now, a half double crochet00:02:19
row. That's going to start with a chain00:02:21
two. That's just our turning chain.00:02:23
Then, working into the back bumps of our00:02:25
chain, we're going to half double00:02:26
crochet until we reach our stitch00:02:28
marker. So, instead of working into the00:02:30
tops of the chain, we're going to flip00:02:31
it over and look at these singular bumps00:02:34
that we have along the back or the00:02:35
spine, whatever you call them, we're00:02:37
going to work into that bump with a half00:02:38
double and continue working into that00:02:40
bump with our half double until we reach00:02:42
our stitch marker.00:02:44
Now, working into the back bumps of your00:02:46
chains actually have a lot of benefits.00:02:48
It does help keep your chain the length00:02:49
that you planned originally, so it00:02:51
doesn't stretch over time, and it keeps00:02:53
your edges really nice and neat. It00:02:54
actually makes it look like you have00:02:56
full stitches on the edge of your work00:02:57
as well.00:02:59
And when we've reached our stitch00:03:00
marker, we're going to start with our00:03:01
sedge stitch. So, the first set stitch00:03:03
is always going to start with just one00:03:05
half double and one double crochet. So,00:03:07
I took my stitch marker out, but don't00:03:08
put it too far. We're going to need to00:03:10
put it back in. into that following00:03:11
chain. Insert with one half double.00:03:14
Same chain with a double crochet and00:03:18
place your stitch marker into that first00:03:20
half double that we made for this set00:03:22
stitch.00:03:24
Then right after that first one, we're00:03:26
going to skip two stitches and into the00:03:28
next insert with one single.00:03:31
Same chain with a half double. Same00:03:33
chain with a double.00:03:37
And it's going to be this set stitch00:03:38
repeat until we have two chains left. So00:03:41
skip two into the next with a single00:03:44
half double and double. Now we're still00:03:46
working our SG stitch into the back00:03:48
bumps. Now normally our sedge stitch00:03:50
skips two chains which leaves a big hole00:03:52
you can basically stick your whole00:03:53
finger through. So instead of just00:03:55
working into the tops of the chains,00:03:56
continue working into the back bumps.00:03:59
That's going to pull our yarn even less,00:04:00
giving us an even cleaner finish and00:04:02
those gaps way smaller. And when we all00:04:05
have two chains left, what we're going00:04:07
to do is single crochet into that last.00:04:09
We want to keep the top of the shoulder00:04:10
nice and blunt. So just place a single00:04:12
crochet into that last stitch. And our00:04:14
row one is complete. We should have the00:04:16
same number of stitches as chains that00:04:18
we made. We're not doing any increases00:04:19
or decreases. Now we're going to start00:04:22
our row two with the same set stitch. So00:04:25
the first set stitch, unless stated00:04:26
otherwise, is always going to be just00:04:28
one half double and one double crochet00:04:31
into that first stitch. Then always skip00:04:34
the next two into the next with a single00:04:37
half double double00:04:41
and repeat that set stitch until we have00:04:43
one stitch left right before our stitch00:04:45
marker. Now a really quick fun fact. We00:04:48
always skip two stitches right after00:04:50
stitch because that half double and00:04:52
double actually count as those two00:04:54
stitches. If we work into there, we will00:04:55
accidentally be increasing. And also00:04:57
every set stitch is worked into the00:04:59
previous rows single crochet to get the00:05:01
texture that we want. And when we have00:05:04
just one stitch left right before our00:05:06
stitch marker, we're going to skip that00:05:08
stitch and into that stitch marker00:05:10
stitch. It should be the same for00:05:11
everyone, no matter what size you're00:05:13
making, we're going to complete the00:05:14
sedge stitch with just one single00:05:16
crochet. Since this is the edge of the00:05:18
sedge stitch, make sure you're placing00:05:19
your stitch marker into the top of that00:05:21
single crochet. Then we're going to work00:05:22
one back loop half double into the rest00:05:24
of our stitches. So just through the00:05:26
next one, yarn over into the top of the00:05:28
stitch. There's going to be two loops00:05:30
into that back loop. We're going to00:05:32
insert with one half double crochet.00:05:35
That is what makes the ribbing detail.00:05:37
And at the end of the row, we're just00:05:38
going to chain two, flip our work, and00:05:41
work one back loop half double crochet00:05:42
into every stitch until we reach our00:05:44
stitch marker. Then just do the same00:05:46
stitch detail that we just did for our00:05:48
previous two rows. Now for this shoulder00:05:51
portion, that's pretty much it. We're00:05:52
going to continue the ribbing and set00:05:54
stitch rows until our work reaches about00:05:56
2 in past the tip of our shoulder inward00:05:58
into the side of the base of our neck.00:06:00
And we're all going to make sure that we00:06:01
meet back right after an even number row00:06:03
so that we can shape the neckline00:06:05
together.00:06:06
Now, this sweater features a drop00:06:08
shoulder detail. Now, that construction00:06:10
is what gives it sweater its relaxed00:06:12
fit. So, for now, we're not doing any00:06:14
increases or decreases. So, basically,00:06:16
right now, we're just building a00:06:18
rectangle.00:06:19
My rectangle just so happens to be a00:06:21
total of 22 and the width is about 8 in00:06:23
or 20 cm. Now, we're shaping the00:06:26
neckline so that the sweater sits00:06:27
comfortably and meets at the center of00:06:28
your chest. Start by placing a stitch00:06:31
marker at the base of your neck. So,00:06:32
from the top, count down from the00:06:34
shoulder. Make sure it lands in a00:06:35
multiple of three. Mine is in my 12th00:06:38
stitch. That's just about 3 and 1/2 in00:06:39
or 9 cm. Now, the following rows are00:06:42
going to be exactly the same as the00:06:43
previous rows, but now we're stopping at00:06:45
the stitch marker, so just a hair00:06:47
shorter. So keep working our back loop00:06:49
half double crochets until it's time for00:06:51
us to do our set stitch. Then set stitch00:06:53
until we are one stitch right before our00:06:55
stitch marker.00:06:58
Then once we reach those two stitches,00:06:59
we're going to skip that next stitch and00:07:01
into that next, which should be the00:07:02
stitch right before our stitch marker,00:07:04
insert with a single crochet. Now this00:07:06
row is completed and it's just going to00:07:08
be our same sedge stitch rows. So chain00:07:11
two, flip sedge stitch until it's time00:07:13
to do our back loop halves, then back00:07:15
loop half into the rest of our stitches.00:07:17
Now, double check your count here. Make00:07:18
sure that you're writing this down. The00:07:20
stitch marker sets the balance for both00:07:21
sides. Now, from here, just work these00:07:24
additional neckline rows until this can00:07:25
reach the center of your chest.00:07:28
And closing off this last front panel00:07:30
row. I'm just going to chain one and cut00:07:32
right after my 28th row. This width just00:07:35
about 10 in or 25 cm. Now, we're going00:07:38
to repeat this process for a second00:07:40
front panel that is done exactly the00:07:42
same way. But right after the second00:07:43
one, we are not going to cut. If00:07:45
possible, we're just going to place a00:07:46
stitch marker under there as a00:07:47
placeholder cuz we're going to do a00:07:49
mattress stitch once we have our back00:07:50
panel completed.00:07:55
Now, speaking of our back panel, it00:07:56
balances the front. It's worked in one00:07:58
solid piece for structure and fit. So,00:08:00
it's just another rectangle. We're going00:08:02
to make the same chain in multiples of00:08:04
three that matches the length of the00:08:06
front panel's shoulder down to the00:08:07
bottom. This is going to ensure that00:08:09
both panels align evenly once when00:08:10
they're seame together.00:08:12
Then we're going to work half double00:08:13
crochets in the back loops only for the00:08:16
same number of total rows as the front00:08:18
panel. So my front panel had 28 rows for00:08:22
one, 28 rows for the next. My back panel00:08:24
is 56 rows. Now make sure you're keeping00:08:27
your tension consistent. This panel sets00:08:29
the sweater's overall width and drape.00:08:31
And if you guys love what you see, tap00:08:33
join to become a channel member and00:08:35
unlock exclusive perks. Then right after00:08:37
that, we're actually ready to seam it00:08:39
all together. So just place your front00:08:40
panel on top of your back panel.00:08:42
Neckline within the center. Then we're00:08:45
just going to single crochet across both00:08:46
of the tops at the same time. So place00:08:49
your hook into the top corner stitches.00:08:51
Pull through and chain one. We're00:08:53
working one single crochet into every00:08:55
side row in through both panels. So into00:08:58
that first side row within the front,00:09:00
find that top loop, insert. First side00:09:03
row within the back. Find that top loop00:09:05
and insert. I am going to be weaving in00:09:07
my tail ends as I go because I do not00:09:09
wish to weave them in later. Let's do00:09:11
that again. Next side row, which is this00:09:13
divot row right here. Find that top00:09:16
loop, insert.00:09:18
Find that next side row within the back.00:09:21
Find that top loop and insert. Then to00:09:23
weave in your tail ends as you go, we're00:09:25
going to place our tail end over our00:09:27
hook. Then we're going to stitch per00:09:29
usual. And it should surround our tail00:09:32
end, making sure that it's nice and00:09:34
secure.00:09:36
Now keep working up this single crochet00:09:38
seam until we reach the last shoulder00:09:39
row for the front panel. When we do cut,00:09:42
then repeat on the other side. Then when00:09:44
the second seam for the shoulder is00:09:46
completed, we're going to jump straight00:09:47
into seaming up the sides. So currently00:09:50
the body is going to look like a vest.00:09:52
Now for seaming up the sides, we're00:09:53
going to need to decide where the00:09:55
armhole width is going to be. Now for00:09:56
most sizes, I would suggest about 2 in00:09:59
underneath our underarm for a comfy fit,00:10:01
which is what I did. It needs to be00:10:02
worked in multiples of three. So, I00:10:04
placed my stitch marker into the 30th00:10:06
stitch from the top. That's just about 700:10:08
in or 18 cm. And this is still going to00:10:10
be a single crochet seam, very similar00:10:12
to the top of the shoulder, but actually00:10:14
easier because we have actual stitches00:10:16
to work into. We're going to single00:10:18
crochet into both front and back panel00:10:20
at the same time until we reach our00:10:21
stitch marker.00:10:24
Then, just make your way over to the00:10:26
other side, but making sure that our00:10:27
work is still flipped wrong side out cuz00:10:29
we want all of these seams to be on the00:10:30
inside once when it's worn. Then right00:10:33
after that second side seam, we're ready00:10:35
to seam up the center. First, we're00:10:37
going to place a stitch marker into the00:10:39
stitch where we'd like for the depth of00:10:40
the neckline to be. So, at the base of00:10:42
the zipper, I place my stitch marker00:10:44
into the 10th stitch from the top of the00:10:46
neckline. Now, we're going to do our00:10:47
mattress seam. We're going to thread our00:10:49
yarn needle, then insert underneath the00:10:51
back loops of the first stitch on the00:10:53
right panel,00:10:55
then underneath the matching back loop00:10:56
on the other.00:11:03
So, starting from the outer edge, making00:11:05
sure working into that back loop, weave00:11:07
your needle through that back loop and00:11:09
pull. Now, on the other side, in through00:11:11
the same loop from the outside, weaving00:11:14
inwards into that back loop and pull00:11:16
through as well.00:11:18
We're going to keep weaving back and00:11:19
forth, loop to loop, just gently00:11:20
tightening after every few stitches.00:11:23
When you tighten it, it's basically00:11:24
going to zip it closed. It's going to00:11:26
lay flat. It's going to be nice and00:11:27
stretchy and nearly invisible. We're00:11:30
going to continue until we reach our00:11:31
stitch marker. Then, we're going to00:11:32
fasten off.00:11:35
Now that our seam is nice and clean,00:11:37
now's the opportune time to try it on.00:11:39
Just make sure that everything is00:11:40
sitting and fitting where you'd like for00:11:41
it to be once when it's completed. Once00:11:43
when it is, we're going to work on our00:11:45
sleeve, which completes the drop00:11:46
shoulder look and adds balance to the00:11:48
overall sweater.00:11:52
Start with our work flipped right side00:11:54
out and place our hook into the stitch00:11:56
that's nearest to the side seam within00:11:57
the armhole. Then, we're going to work a00:11:59
chain the length that we like for the00:12:00
sleeve to be. This can be as short or as00:12:02
long as you'd like. Mine's going to be00:12:04
3/4. So, I'm making a chain of 35.00:12:06
That's just about 11 in or 28 cm. Then,00:12:09
right after that chain, we're going to00:12:10
work a half double crochet row. Pretty00:12:12
simple. Just chain two. That's our00:12:14
turning chain. And put one half double00:12:16
crochet into every chain. Starting with00:12:18
the third chain from our hook. Now, this00:12:21
row doesn't need to be worked into the00:12:22
back bumps. Just make your way down with00:12:24
our half doubles. At the end of the row,00:12:26
we're going to end with the same number00:12:27
of stitches as chains that we made.00:12:28
Then, we're just going to connect it00:12:29
into the base by slip stitching into00:12:31
that second stitch into the base. So,00:12:33
there's one, there's two. Into that00:12:36
second stitch, we're going to slip00:12:38
stitch into there to anchor down this00:12:40
first row. This slip stitch doesn't00:12:41
actually count as a stitch. Then we need00:12:43
to work our way up to the following row00:12:44
as well. So simply slip stitch up that00:12:46
next stitch into the base. That00:12:48
basically counts as our turning chain.00:12:50
Doesn't actually count as a stitch. Flip00:12:52
our work. And now back loop half all the00:12:54
way down. We just want to make sure that00:12:55
we're not working into any of those slip00:12:57
stitches into the base. We want to end00:12:58
with the same number of stitches as00:13:00
chains that we made for the entirety of00:13:01
the sleeve. So no increases, no00:13:03
decreases. Then when we're at the end of00:13:05
the row, just to do the following row00:13:07
together, chain two, flip, and keep00:13:09
working our back loop half double00:13:11
crochets until we reach the base. Then00:13:13
just like the last row, we're going to00:13:15
slip stitch into that second stitch into00:13:16
the base. We're connecting into the00:13:18
second because a half double crochet is00:13:20
kind of tall,00:13:22
but to work our way up to the next row,00:13:24
we're just going to slip stitch up that00:13:25
next stitch. Now, the half double is00:13:26
kind of tall, but not quite as tall as a00:13:28
double crochet. So, we don't want to00:13:29
stretch out our stitch too much. Then00:13:31
continue with back loop halves. Now,00:13:34
keep on working these back loop half00:13:35
double crochet rows until it worked into00:13:37
every stitch. Then, we're going to seam00:13:39
it up with the same single crochet seam00:13:41
that we did for the body. Then, we're00:13:43
going to finish up the sleeve with our00:13:44
cuff. We're going to single crochet00:13:47
along the edge. That's going to give us00:13:48
a clean base for the cuff, but also help00:13:50
cinch in our sleeve. This is going to be00:13:53
pretty easy. Simply put one single00:13:54
crochet into every side row. So, we00:13:57
should have same amount of stitches as00:13:58
sleeve rows that we have. This single00:14:00
crochet row is going to be as wide as it00:14:01
can fit. If it's too tight or too loose,00:14:03
go ahead and just redo this row with a00:14:05
different tension.00:14:07
Working in the rounds with this row,00:14:08
we're going to need to connect the end00:14:10
to the beginning of this row. Now, we00:14:12
would typically just slip stitch into00:14:14
that chain space, but when we do that,00:14:16
that gives us an additional stitch for00:14:18
the row. Now, you could just easily00:14:19
place a stitch marker under there just00:14:21
to remind you that it's not an actual00:14:22
stitch. But something else that you can00:14:24
do is with your working yarn, pull up00:14:26
some slack. Place your hook into that00:14:30
chain space and place your slack loop00:14:32
back on your hook and pull through.00:14:37
Now, it's still attached, but it doesn't00:14:39
give us any additional stitches. No00:14:40
confusion. Now, we're going to make a00:14:43
chain the length that we'd like for our00:14:44
cuff to be. I'd like for mine to be just00:14:46
about 3 in or 8 cm. So, I'm starting00:14:48
with a chain 13.00:14:50
Now, we already know how to work into00:14:51
the back bumps, but now we're going to00:14:53
do back bump slip stitches. So, we're00:14:55
going to chain one. That chain one's our00:14:57
turning chain into that second chain00:15:00
from our hook. Making sure we're working00:15:01
into that back bump. Yarn over and00:15:03
gently pull through everything on our00:15:05
hook. That's our first slip stitch. Once00:15:07
more into that next chain's back bump,00:15:10
yarn over, pull through everything. And00:15:12
make sure you're not tugging through too00:15:14
tightly cuz otherwise the following row00:15:15
can be too tight to work into. But we're00:15:17
just going to keep working our back bump00:15:19
slip stitches until we reach the base.00:15:22
We're just going to slip stitch into00:15:23
that next stitch into the base. So this00:15:25
is mine right here. Insert with a slip00:15:28
stitch. Remember the slip stitches into00:15:29
the base don't actually count as a00:15:31
stitch. That's just to connect. Then to00:15:33
work our way up to the following row,00:15:34
slip stitch up that next stitch. Flip00:15:36
our work and do a back loop slip stitch00:15:38
row. But making sure we're not working00:15:39
into any of those slip stitches into the00:15:41
base cuz remember they don't actually00:15:43
count as stitches. And now that we're at00:15:45
the end of the row, we're just going to00:15:46
chain one, flip our work, and make our00:15:48
way back down with one back loop slip00:15:50
into every stitch. And keep repeating00:15:52
these two rows until we run out of00:15:54
stitches. Then we're going to seam00:15:55
everything together with an outside loop00:15:57
slip stitch seam. Now, this seam is00:16:00
going to look like another back loop00:16:01
slip stitch row so that it blends in00:16:02
seamlessly with the cuff. So to do that,00:16:05
we're going to make sure that our work00:16:06
is flipped right side out. Inserting our00:16:08
hook into the corner stitches of both00:16:09
the front and the back panel, we're00:16:11
going to find that first loop within the00:16:12
front panel. Insert only into that front00:16:14
loop. Next stitch into the back panel.00:16:16
Insert only into that back. Then yarn00:16:19
over and pull through all three loops on00:16:20
our hook. And that's our outside loop00:16:22
slip stitch seam. Now just keep seaming00:16:24
up our cuff until we run out of00:16:26
stitches. Then repeat on the other side.00:16:30
Now since we've just completed the00:16:31
sleeves and the cuffs, we're going to00:16:32
work the bottom band. But the bottom00:16:34
band is actually going to be done nearly00:16:36
the same way as the cuff.00:16:42
So, just to talk you guys through it,00:16:43
our work flipped right side out, right00:16:45
side out. We're going to do a single00:16:46
crochet row. Just one single crochet00:16:48
into every side row. Then, right after00:16:50
that, we're going to jump straight into00:16:52
the length of the bottom band by making00:16:53
a chain the length that we'd like for00:16:54
the bottom band to be. Mine00:16:56
coincidentally is going to be the same00:16:58
as the cuff, which is just 3 in or 8 cm.00:17:00
So, chain 13 for me. Then, all the way00:17:02
around with our back loop slip stitches.00:17:05
Then, just completing it with our00:17:06
outside loop slip stitch seam. Easy00:17:09
peasy. Then we're going to do another00:17:10
back loop slip stitch section, but that00:17:12
is the collar.00:17:17
Now, the collar is what frames the00:17:19
neckline and adds that nice, clean,00:17:21
sleek finish. So, we're going to make00:17:23
sure our work is flipped right side out.00:17:25
Insert your hook into our neckline edge.00:17:28
Then, do a single crochet row all the00:17:30
way around. Now, into each of our side00:17:32
rows that we have, whether if it's a00:17:34
side edge stitch or the side half double00:17:36
crochets, we're going to alternate00:17:37
between one to two single crochets into00:17:39
each of those. Then, into this first00:17:42
side row, find that top loop and insert00:17:44
with just one single crochet. We know00:17:46
how to do that already. Then into that00:17:48
next side row, find that top loop and00:17:50
insert with two single crochets. So,00:17:52
there's one. Then into the top of that00:17:54
same side row with a second. and keep on00:17:58
working this single crochet row. Once we00:18:00
reach our regular stitches, just one00:18:01
single crochet into each of those. Then00:18:04
at the other corner of our neckline,00:18:06
we're going to work a chain the length00:18:07
that we'd like for the collar to be.00:18:08
Remember that this is going to house the00:18:10
zipper as well. Now, this is going to be00:18:12
done exactly the same way as our cuff00:18:14
and our bottom band. Coincidentally,00:18:17
again, I'd like for the height of my00:18:18
collar to be just about 3 in or 8 cm.00:18:20
So, that is a chain 13 for me. Then,00:18:22
working back into the neckline all the00:18:24
way back around to where we started.00:18:26
more back loop slip stitch rows. No00:18:28
increases, no decreases for that00:18:30
stretchy knit-like look. And when you're00:18:32
worked into the last stitch into the00:18:34
collar, we're just going to chain one00:18:36
and cut. Then we're going to add the00:18:38
star of the show, which is the zipper.00:18:40
Now, a really quick side quest for the00:18:42
zipper. I need to shorten mine. First,00:18:44
we're going to mark the length that we00:18:45
want. So, set the base of your close end00:18:47
zipper at the base of our neckline slit.00:18:49
We're going to stitch across the teeth00:18:51
at the point to create a new stop. Now,00:18:53
using the same color thread as a zipper,00:18:56
just make a good amount of passes in00:18:58
between those teeth. We want to make00:19:00
sure that this is thick enough so that00:19:02
the zipper doesn't fly off once we zip00:19:03
it all the way up.00:19:06
We're going to trim the excess zipper00:19:07
right above your stitches. Repeat on the00:19:10
other side. Your zipper is now the00:19:12
perfect length. Now, onward to the quick00:19:14
zipper install. We're going to line it00:19:16
up neatly along the neckline opening.00:19:18
We're going to use the same yarn to sew00:19:20
it in place with a simple running00:19:21
stitch. We're going to make sure that00:19:23
the collar stays even on both sides. So,00:19:25
just make sure that when you're pinning00:19:26
it down, this single crochet row aligns00:19:28
cuz that's what's going to keep it look00:19:29
nice and crispy. Now, when it comes to00:19:32
the running stitch, keep your stitches00:19:33
small and even so that the zipper can00:19:35
glide smoothly. When that's completed on00:19:38
both sides, we're then going to fold the00:19:40
zipper tape over and secure it in with00:19:42
another row of running stitches just so00:19:44
we can hide the previous row of running00:19:46
stitches so that the inside looks nice00:19:47
and clean. We're going to repeat that on00:19:50
the other side as well. With the zipper00:19:52
being all sewn in, we are all done. Now,00:19:54
just the last thing I have to do is00:19:55
weave in all of our ends.00:19:58
And there you have it, y'all. Your very00:20:00
own quarterzip pullover sweater. I00:20:02
