The ladies lace sweater crochet pattern comes as a 6-page A4 PDF with instructions for four sizes. It calls for 350–500g of Schachenmayr/SMC Favorito yarn in #00005 sand and a US E/4 [3.5mm] crochet hook. The gauge is specified as the first 4 rows measuring about ¾ inch [2cm] and the remaining 28 rows about 4¼ inches [11cm].
What the pattern includes for back, front, and sleeves
The back is worked with a cast on of 78–118 sts, a 2-inch [5cm] ribbed hem, and armhole bind offs of 5–8 sts at each end. The front is worked as for the back, and each sleeve starts with 54–82 sts. Shoulder bind offs are given as 7–19 sts on either side.
How to work with the PDF
Print the pages at actual size on A4 paper, not fit-to-page, so the stitch counts and measurements line up correctly. You can follow the written instructions directly from the file as you crochet, marking off each size’s numbers as you go. The pattern suits anyone comfortable reading standard crochet abbreviations for garments.
Sizing note
Since the pattern covers four sizes, circle the numbers that apply to your chosen size before you begin to avoid confusion mid-project.
