Summer Crochet Sweater HELIX #1

A design from the studio of stricken-im-trend.com. 

Even in the warmer seasons, a lightweight sweater can add that little extra to any outfit.

The special feature of this design lies in its construction – it is worked sideways.
This creates an interesting stitch texture and makes the sweater very easy to adjust individually.

The decorative spiral pattern creates a lively texture and is great fun to crochet.

HELIX #1 is the first design of the HELIX series and combines a modern look with a pleasantly simple construction.

The sweater is designed without any increases or decreases.
This keeps the pattern clear and easy to follow, so even beginners can successfully complete this project.

You will receive:

• a detailed step-by-step written pattern
• clear crochet charts and row-by-row instructions
• two schematics with measurements
• guidance for individual size adjustments

This crochet sweater is perfect for spring, summer and the transitional seasons and can be styled in many ways – casually with jeans or a bit more elegant with a skirt.

If you love modern, wearable crochet fashion that highlights both shape and style,
this design might be exactly what you're looking for, because … 

... Style knows no Size.

Sizes & Finished Measurements

This pattern is written for sizes S / M / L / XL.

However, since the sweater is worked sideways, it is especially easy to adjust individually.
This is one of the great advantages of this design.

The pattern clearly explains how the length and width can easily be adapted to achieve the desired size.

The included schematics and gauge information help you calculate the correct measurements and adjust the sweater step by step to suit your preferences.

This means the design can not only be worked in the listed sizes, but can also easily be made wider, slimmer, longer, or shorter if desired.

This makes the pattern particularly suitable for anyone who enjoys customizing their projects and adapting a sweater to their own body shape or preferred look.

The models shown in the product photos are wearing sizes S and XL.
