Crochet Arcade Sweater Pattern
Have you made anything using the arcade stitch with bobbles? I love the beautiful stitch combinations and want to make everything with this stitch!
Little wonder, I have designed this beautiful sweater using the arcade stitch with bobbles.
Inspiration for the arcade crochet sweater design
Last year, I designed 4 different garments and accessories using the beautiful crochet arcade stitch. The Blooming lavender sweater, blooming bobbles beach bag, Blooming bobbles shawl
I knew I wanted a sweater in this beautiful stitch and went ahead with the sketch. V neck garments are gradually becoming my thing.
Don’t you just love how these tops drape beautifully? I wanted a garment that incorporates the features in these, that was the birth of the BLOOMING BOBBLES CROCHET arcade sweater pattern.
Perfect the arcade stitch by adding bobbles using this detailed tutorial. Learn the stitch tutorial here. I hope you have much fun working and wearing this beauty as I do.
The arcade stitch crochet sweater is available on both Etsy and Ravelry.
