Oversized Color Block Crochet Sweater Pattern

This Oversized Color Block Crochet Sweater Pattern is the comfiest & coziest around! It’s cute paired with some skinny jeans or perfect for a comfy day around the house.

I used Lion Brand Color Made Easy fort my sweater. I’ve also used Loops & Threads Charisma yarn. Any bulky weight (category 5) yarn would work great! You can’t go wrong with this sweater. All you need to know is how to dc and sc! No special stitches and only a tiny bit of shaping in the sleeves.
