About the Yarnicorn Sweater

The Yarnicorn Sweater is worked in four separate pieces: a front panel, a back panel, and two sleeves.

You'll begin by crocheting the ribbed hem using single crochet stitches worked through the back loop only.

From there, the sweater body is worked in regular single crochet stitches, giving the fabric its distinctive chunky texture.

The sleeves are made separately, beginning with ribbed cuffs and gradually increasing to create their shape.

Finally, the four pieces are sewn together to create your finished handmade sweater.
