Blooming Lavender Crochet Sweater Pattern

Earlier this year, my plan for Spring/Summer was to make crochet garments with statement sleeves! Coming up with the Blooming Lavender Crochet Sweater Pattern was a dream come true. This is the second in the category and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Another great thing about this design is that it can be customized to fit your individual preferences. You can make the sleeves fitted (slim fit), short sleeves (above the elbow, below the elbow) or above the wrist or full sleeves like mine. The choice is yours, the written pattern has instructions as to how to go about the customization.

Name Inspiration – Blooming Lavender Crochet Sweater got its name from me taking interest in flowers of recent. Do you have your favorite flower? What inspires you about this flower? Mine is the Lavender.
