Here's how to do it
This sweater is easy to crochet despite the beautiful pattern! We start working the pullover from the bottom up and then continue with the other side from the top down to make the pullover complete. At the end, we add the sleeve cuffs and neck collar and finish by sewing the sides. I have provided a breakdown of each section of the pattern so you can alter it to your body type. If you have a pullower that fits you well, measure the size and use its measurements to create your pullover. Hope you like this shirt and the beautiful pattern! /Johanna R

Info
The technique used in this pattern is called Herringbone double crochet and we have added a short video if you are unsure how to crochet this technique. The cuffs are made with single crochets and crocheted with a 5 mm crochet hook while the pullover is crocheted with a 6 mm crochet hook. We begin to crochet the sweater from the bottom up, and then continue with the other side of the sweater from top to bottom.
At the end, we add cuffs at the sleeves and neck collar and finish by sewing the sides together. You can easily change the crochet pattern to make it longer or wider to match your own measurements or if you want the sweater to be tighter or loose.
Keep in mind that chain 1-2 used at the beginning of each row, do not count as stitches!

After you have crocheted your last row, turn.

Sleeves
Info
Sleeve length is 41 (43, 43, 43, 43) cm. With the cuff (cuff folded) the total Sleeve length is 46,5 cm for size S and 48,5 cm for size M-XXL. To lengthen or shorten sleeves, increase or reduce the sleeve chain (1 loose stitch equal to 1 cm).

Right sleeve
Now, use the yarn where you paused the back part. Chain 49 (51,51,51,51). You make two extra chain stitches on this side of the pullover, because the extra chain 2 stitches count as 2 turning stitches, which you do on each turn before turning and crocheting back.
We begin to crochet rows, so that the sleeves are formed. We crochet everything in one piece so from one sleeve, over the body and to the end of the other sleeve.

Turtleneck ribbing, crochet hook 5 mm
Note! On Round 1, you should increase three times on both sides of the opening (you thus increase the number of stitches with 3 stitches). An increase is two single crochet in the same stitch. As guide, look in the pictures below. You can also, or instead of the increases, choose to crochet with a 6 mm crochet hook to make the ribbing a little larger.
Round 1: Start by attaching the yarn to the corner on the right side. Chain 1. Crochet single crochet aroung the opening until you are on the other side of the opening. This creates a foundation to use when starting with the ribbing. Slip stitch in the first hole where we chain 1. When you finish the row, you will have a total of 54 (54, 56, 56, 56) stitches.
