Dive into cozy colorwork with the Finn Fish Sweater, an oversized and playful crochet design featuring charming fish motifs. This intermediate-level pattern is written in English (US terms) and includes both written instructions and colorwork graphs for all sizes XS–5XL.
Designed for comfort and creativity, the sweater is worked from the top down in two main panels, making the length fully adjustable. Sleeves are crocheted separately, then seamed and finished with a ribbed collar and cuffs. Most of the design uses half double crochet, with simple single crochet and slip stitch sections. Because the unused yarn is carried along, you’ll have minimal ends to weave in.
The PDF set includes step-by-step technique photos, detailed explanations on how to read the colorwork charts, and a full tester lookbook to inspire your color choices.
