Cozy Cropped Sweater Crochet Pattern

The Cozy Cropped Sweater Crochet Pattern is made with one of my favorite stitches, the Suzette Stitch. It creates a sturdy and beautiful texture. Because of the tight stitch, this little sweater is surprisingly warm and cozy!

For the yarn I used Paintbox Simply Aran. Paintbox is one of my favorite yarn brands! They have SO MANY color options available and you just can’t beat the price. It’s a soft, durable acrylic for under $3 a skein. Score!
