free instructional pattern !

you will need:
scrap worsted yarn (weight 4, medium) about 8.5 grams per square
5mm hook, yarn needle, scissors
•
for mine, each square is 10 rows of 16 half double crochet (HDC) worked in back loops only (BLO), bringing them to 5in x 5in each! I just worked the panels and sleeves as 4 whole pieces, changing colors for each square rather than stitching them all together at the end
my front and back panels are 6 squares wide and 4 squares tall, my sleeves are 4 squares around and 3 squares tall — the HDC BLO ribbing is aligned vertically on each piece
you can just decide what yarn you want to use, how many squares each color will produce, and then sketch out your color arrangement
when assembling, the upper center 2 squares on each panel (4 total) are left unseamed for the neckline
•
bottom ribbing: once you’ve assembled the panels and sleeves, pull up a loop at the bottom of an edge square and chain 8
[chain 1 and turn, HDC 8 back towards the square, slip stitch into the side of each of the next 2 rows, turn without a turning chain, HDC 8 in BLO] repeat what is in brackets all around the bottom — you should have 10 rows of ribbing per square
•
turtleneck: same as bottom ribbing but start with a chain of 30-40 to be able to fold it over
•
sleeve cuffs: same as bottom ribbing but the 2 slip stitches will be decreases across 4 stitches — so you should end up with 10 rows of cuff ribbing for every TWO squares rather than for every square
