🧶 How to Make 💯😍 Crochet Women’s Sweater / Jacket / Top with a New Stitch Pattern


🪡 What You’ll Need:

  • Yarn: Medium weight (Category 3 or 4), cotton or acrylic blend for comfort

  • Hook: Size 4.0 mm – 5.0 mm (depending on your yarn)

  • Stitch markers

  • Scissors

  • Tapestry needle

  • Measuring tape


📏 Sizes (Adjustable):

You can adjust the stitch count for XS to XXL sizes by measuring around the bust and modifying foundation chains accordingly.


🌟 NEW STITCH PATTERN – “Wavy Lattice Shell”

This beautiful and modern stitch combines:

  • Shell stitch for elegance

  • Lattice mesh for texture

  • V-stitch rows for flexibility

💡 Pattern Repeat:

  • Multiple of 6 + 2 (foundation chain)


🔄 Step-by-Step Pattern Breakdown:

🧵 Step 1: Make a Swatch

Make a 20x20cm swatch using the stitch pattern below to determine your gauge.


🧵 Step 2: Crochet the Back Panel

Foundation Row:

  • Chain a multiple of 6 + 2 to desired width.

  • For a medium size: Ch 92

Row 1:

  • SC in 2nd ch from hook, ch 3, skip 2, SC in next – repeat across.

  • Turn.

Row 2:

  • Ch 3 (counts as DC), 2 DC in first ch-3 space, skip SC, 3 DC in next ch-3 space – repeat.

  • Turn.

Row 3:

  • Ch 1, SC in 1st DC, ch 3, skip 2 DC, SC in next – repeat.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the piece measures the desired length (e.g. 18–20 inches for the back).


🧵 Step 3: Crochet Front Panels (Make 2)

Same pattern as the back, but work only half the stitch count. For a medium: Ch 46
Leave space for neckline (you’ll seam later).


🧵 Step 4: Shape Neckline

Once front panels reach chest height:

  • Begin decreasing 1 shell stitch every 2 rows to shape the neck opening.

  • Continue until shoulder length is reached.


🧵 Step 5: Sleeves (Optional for Blouse, Recommended for Jacket)

Foundation Row:

  • Ch 62 (or adjust for wrist circumference)

Follow same stitch pattern, increasing at both ends every few rows until sleeve is wide enough for upper arm (bell-shaped or straight).


🧵 Step 6: Join Panels

  • Use mattress stitch or slip stitch to seam:

    • Front panels to back at the shoulders

    • Sides from hem up to underarm

    • Sleeves to armholes


🧵 Step 7: Edging (Optional)

Add a border:

  • Ch 1, SC all around the edges (neck, hem, and cuffs)

  • Optionally add picot edging: (SC, ch 3, SC in same st)


✨ Finishing Touches

  • Weave in all ends

  • Lightly block the garment to shape it

  • Add wooden or pearl buttons for style


🧶 Tips:

  • Use contrasting yarn for a color block effect

  • Try using sparkly yarn for party wear

  • Want a crop-top? Shorten the body panels
