The Marilla Sweater is a size-graded crochet pattern designed for confident beginners. Techniques used include double crochet, double crochet decreases, and seaming. This instant digital download includes detailed instructions for creating a sweater with three sleeve options and two neckline options, for sizes 2XS–3XL. DesignConstructed in double crochet mesh stitch, the design creates a soft texture that can be used for summer cover ups or winter layering. The pattern includes three sleeve options: a full-length wide sleeve (white sweater), a short wide sleeve (blue sweater), and a full-length bubble sleeve (pink sweater). You can also choose between an off-the-shoulder or regular neckline. Decreases worked along the lower body panels create a subtle bubble silhouette at the waist.
