Shanti Sweater – Top Down Crochet Sweater Pattern in Sizes XS – 5XL

I am SO excited to debut my first top-down fitted sweater pattern: the Shanti Sweater! This gorgeous circular yoke crochet pattern is available in sizes from XS to 5XL, and is very much a beginner-friendly design.

When designing this sweater pattern, I wanted something both comfortable and flattering. This is my first top-down fitted sweater and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. So comfy to wear and so chic too!

I decided to call this the Shanti Sweater because Shanti means “peace” in Sanskrit and I think we could all use a little peace in our lives right now. ♥

For this sweater pattern we are using the Herringbone Double Crochet stitch. Find a complete stitch tutorial for this stitch here.

This is a fun variation of the regular double crochet that lends a fantastic texture, appearance, while also creating a nice, squishy fabric. You’ll love to wear this sweater whether you’re hanging out on the couch, or headed out for a walk with the dog. (or out and around town – when we’re allowed to!)

I have made for myself two different sizes of this pattern, both using the Bernat Softee Baby yarn. The grey version is a size XL and uses the Flannel colorway. The red version is a size large and uses the Little Red Wagon colorway. The XL definitely fits me better, and that is what size I normally wear. But I do love them both! The sizing chart below will help you decide which size to make for yourself.

Find this pattern on Ravelry, Etsy or in the Heart Hook Home shop. Thank you, and I hope you love it!
