Well friends, I did it! I completed my first ever crochet sweater! Check it out!
How cool is that?! I found this free pattern on Ravelry, and made the following changes:
1. Because I really, REALLY don’t understand short sleeved sweaters (it’s cold enough for a sweater but warm enough for short sleeves? DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.), I added 15 granny rows to each arm, making them nice and long.
2. Because I had it, and because I thought it looked cool, I sewed on this funky vintage button at the top:
funkadelic.
Awww, look how the sun shimmers on this sweatery sweater! So warm and fuzzy!
The sleeves form sort of a bell-shape! Groovy, no?
Anyway, apparently there are tons of mad awesome fans of the granny shrug – there’s a whole Flickr group dedicated to them!
And, because I’m uber-proud of myself, here’s one more picture:
Hooray! Happy hooking, everyone! Have a most excellent weekend! })i({
