Oversized Crochet Sweater

Hello blog friends.  I set a crochet project goal to make a sweater.  This is the first time crocheting a sweater and I found a free simple crochet pattern on Pinterest.  I made an oversized sweater using this pattern. 

I chose one color of yarn since it's the first time I've crocheted a sweater.  I tried to buy dark-colored yarn but the bins were empty at Michaels.  I chose this taupe-colored yarn thinking this will go with everything.  I can wear this sweater with black pants or jeans. 

I'm happy I challenged myself and crocheted a sweater.  I think the sweater came out pretty good for my first crocheted sweater.

This is what the sweater looks like on me.

 Oversized Color Block Crochet Sweater Details:

YARN:  7 Skeins of yarn - Charisma Loops & Threads - Color Taupe 

CROCHET HOOK:  L/8.0 mm hook

PATTERN:  Here

NOTE:  Changes to the pattern:  The pattern called for 5 skeins of yarn but I had to use 7 skeins of yarn to complete this sweater.  I used one color of yarn to make this sweater.  I had to make changes to the pattern to fit me better.  The size small was too big for me, so I adjusted the pattern smaller.

Adjustment:

Front:  Chain 50 

Row 1 = dc in 3rd ch from hook - 48 dc

Row 2 = ch 2 - turn - dc in ea. st. across = 48

Back:  Chain 50

Row 1 = dc in 3rd ch from hook - 48 dc

Row 2 = ch 2 - turn - dc in ea. st. across = 48

To sew the sweater together I followed the measurements for a size small.
