Sherpa Sweater

Sherpa or “teddy bear” style fleece is very en vogue and now you can recreate the look with yarn! By using the most basic Tunisian crochet stitch, we’ll make a fabric that looks decidedly not crocheted. Add some crocheted cuffs that appear knit and you’ll have yourself the coziest, snuggliest toss-on cardigan you ever did see.

While fuzzy yarn can sometimes be intimidating to crochet with, it’s quite straightforward when working in Tunisian because you’re searching for stitches in the same way. If you’ve never tried Tunisian crochet before, this entry-level sweater is a perfect place to start. Follow the included video tutorials to master the basic skills necessary.

Printable PDF includes written pattern, size chart, detailed photo tutorials and links to video tutorials. Skills required include Tunisian simple stitch, standard slip stitch and basic seaming.
