Hi everyone, Brenna from BrennaAnnHandmade here! Today I’ll be showing you how to crochet a simple, chunky sweater / cardigan with HobiumYarn’s lovely YarnArt Country Tweed yarn.

Are you ready to go? Great, let’s get started! 🙂

*Pattern fits women’s size small-medium as written, but can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing starting chain + number of rows to the body of the sweater*
