Crochet Unisex Sweater Pattern
It is with much pleasure to share this crochet unisex sweater pattern. I have designed this beauty for my husband and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
The Tranquility Dawn sweater is the first crochet unisex sweater I have designed. Seeing the beautiful look of this sweater on both genders makes me excited.
I have always wanted a crochet sweater perfect for men, and when I made this version, all I wanted was to make another for myself. You would agree that finding crochet sweaters for men can be daunting.
This crochet unisex sweater pattern is so versatile. There are 3 different options as regards the number of buttons. You can either go one-third, two-thirds, or even full length with the buttons.
The tranquility dawn crochet unisex sweater is a paid pattern. You can get the pattern on either Ravelry or Etsy. Use the links below.

The tranquility dawn sweater can be made in a single color or in multiple colors. The prototype was made using self-striping yarn. I have pulled out the colors to fit the arrangement below.
The pattern was written with instructions on using multiple colors.
Some beautiful Photos from my pattern testers. I love all the beautiful colors and how they have pulled them together.
