Crochet Vintage Catghan Sweater Tutorial

Hi guys! So, I’ve seen a few of these sweaters around on social media and I thought they looked so fun and cute! Here is the Vintage Catghan Sweater! This is my take on converting this blanket into a sweater. This pattern is based on Sandra Miller Maxfield’s cat afghan pattern. With , I was able to redraw her pattern with the colors that I chose. Materials: Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in “White“: Scissors Yarn Needle Original pattern: :// This is more of an advanced sweater just because of the sheer amount of color changes, but it becomes easier as you go along. There are also quite a lot of ends to weave in, but you can just... not weave them in. They are on the inside of the sweater, so you can’t even see them! This pattern uses mainly the double crochet (dc), with the half double crochet (hdc) in the back loops only (BLO) for the ribbing, and slip stitches (sl st) to join rounds and ribbing. The yarn that I used was unlabeled shades of blue that I already had in my stash. I believe most of them are size 4 and 100% acrylic, which is not the best sweater material (and not the best for the environment, I bought them years ago!), but I really liked the color combination! I also used a 5 mm hook and a yarn needle. Thanks for watching!
