The Pulled Taffy Pullover Crochet Pattern is a lightweight sweater that is perfect for fall and spring. It would also be fun for the holiday season! The stripes would be so cute in Christmas colors.
Let’s talk yarn! I used Lion Brand Touch of Mohair for this sweater. This is a DK or category 3 weight yarn. I love the slight fuzziness this yarn has from the little bit of mohair wool. But any DK weight yarn would be perfect!
