Materials Needed:
- 4 ply yarn
- 3.50 mm crochet hook
Sweater Pattern:
Base Chain:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain (ch) 108 - This should be a multiple of 4 and about 24 inches long.
- Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the first chain (1st ch) to form a loop.
Foundation Row:
- Chain 3 (ch 3) - This counts as your first double crochet (1st dc).
- Make 1 double crochet (dc) into each chain around.
- Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the third chain (3rd ch).
Row 2-8: Forming the Ribbing
- Chain 3 (ch 3).
- Make 1 front post stitch (fps) and 1 back post stitch (bps) - Repeat this sequence around the row.
- End the row by joining with a slip stitch into the third chain.
- Repeat this row until you complete Row 8.
For Row 9: Start of V Stitch Pattern
- Chain 3 (ch 3) and 1 double crochet (dc) into the very first stitch (1st st).
- Skip 1 stitch (skip 1 st) and make 2 dc into the next st.
- Continue the pattern (skip 1, 2 dc into next) around the row.
- Join with a slip stitch into the third chain.
- This row creates the setup for the V stitch with 2dc forming the V.
Row 10 to 30: Continuing V Stitch
- Chain 3 (ch 3), then make 1 dc into the middle of the chain 3 and 1st dc.
- 2 dc into the middle of these 2 stitches - This creates the V stitch.
- Repeat the V stitch into the middle of each V stitch from the previous row.
- Continue this pattern until you've completed Row 30.
Creating the Armholes:
- Mark the 27th stitch from both sides for the front and back.
- Skip 2 V stitches and mark the 3rd one for both armholes on both sides.
- For the back part, skip to the 24th V stitch for armhole starting point.
- Begin by making 1 single stitch (single st), chain 2 and 1 double crochet (dc) into the same stitch.
- Make 1 V stitch into each V stitch until the 2nd armhole. Turn the work and repeat.
- Follow the armhole pattern for a total of 13 rows.
Neckline:
- Mark the middle stitch for the neck. Start from the armhole and follow the established V stitch pattern, adjusting for the neckline by decreasing the stitches over successive rows to match the back part's length.
Joining Front and Back:
- After completing both the front and back sections, join them together at the shoulders.
Neck and Armhole Borders:
- For the neck border, join the yarn at the middle V stitch.
- Chain 1 and make 1 single stitch into the same place, then 1 single stitch into each space all around the neck.
- For the armhole, follow a similar pattern, ensuring 4 rounds of single stitches for a neat finish.
Finishing Touches:
- Sew the ends of the neck together as described, and repeat the process for the armholes.
- After completing all these steps, your V stitch sweater is ready.
