Crochet Hooded Sweater Pattern

Sure! Here’s a simple crochet pattern for a hooded sweater. You’ll need a medium-weight yarn and an appropriate hook size to achieve the desired gauge. Feel free to adjust the pattern to fit your measurements and style preferences.

Note: This pattern assumes you have basic knowledge of crochet stitches, such as chains, single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitches.

Size: Adult (adjustments for different sizes included)

Materials:

• Medium-weight yarn (approximately 800-1000 yards)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn weight
• Stitch markers
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Buttons (optional)

Gauge: 10 cm x 10 cm (4″ x 4″) = 14 stitches x 16 rows in double crochet

Pattern:

Back Panel: Chain a multiple of 4 + 2 (for example, 70 + 2 = 72) Note: Adjust the chain length for smaller or larger sizes.

Row 1: Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (dc) in each chain across. Turn.

Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as 1 double crochet throughout), work 1 dc in each stitch across. Turn.

Repeat Row 2 until your panel measures your desired back length (e.g., 60 cm or 24″).

Front Panels (make 2): Chain a multiple of 4 + 2 (for example, 34 + 2 = 36) Note: Adjust the chain length for smaller or larger sizes.

Row 1: Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 dc in each chain across. Turn.

Row 2: Chain 3, work 1 dc in each stitch across. Turn.

Repeat Row 2 until your panels measure the same length as the back panel.

Joining: Place the back panel and front panels together, aligning the shoulders. Use stitch markers to hold them in place.

Shoulder Seams: Row 1: With right sides together, join yarn at one shoulder seam. Work 1 slip stitch (sl st) through both panels’ corresponding stitches. Continue slip stitching along the shoulder seam until the end. Fasten off.

Repeat for the other shoulder seam.

Sleeves (make 2): Note: You may need to adjust the sleeve length for your desired fit.

Round 1: Join yarn at the bottom of the armhole. Work 1 sc in each stitch around the armhole. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.

Round 2: Chain 2, work 1 dc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first dc.

Repeat Round 2 until your sleeve reaches the desired length (e.g., 50 cm or 20″).

Fasten off and repeat for the second sleeve.

Hood: Note: Adjust the hood size based on your measurements.

Row 1: Join yarn at the back neckline. Work 1 sc in each stitch across. Turn.

Row 2: Chain 2, work 1 dc in each stitch across. Turn.

Repeat Row 2 until the hood measures your desired depth (e.g., 30 cm or 12″).

Fasten off.

Finishing: Fold the sweater in half with right sides together. Seam the sides, leaving openings for the arms.

Hood Trim (optional): Join yarn at the edge of the hood. Work 1 round of single crochet evenly around the hood’s edge. Fasten off.

Button Bands (optional): Join yarn at the front opening. Work 1 row of single crochet evenly along the front edge. Fasten off.

Sew buttons on the opposite side, aligning them with the buttonholes.
