Crochet Sweatshirt, Crochet Hoodie, Crochet Sleeves, PDF pattern

This is a digital pdf crochet pattern written in ENGLISH only, NOT a finished product! There are no graphs included. You will be able to instantly download the pdf upon completion of purchase.

Learn how to turn any boring sweatshirt into a work of art by adding your own crochet sleeves! This project is a labour of love, but it is worth EVERY stitch. In this pattern, I show you step-by-step for how to prepare your sweatshirt for the best look, getting consistent and professional results every time.

Once you get the hang of this process down, you will be able to easily adjust it to make other looks by simply changing up the stitch pattern, or even adding crochet sleeves to other garments like a jean jacket.
