Made in Bernat Softee Cotton, or Your Favorite DK Weight Yarn
The Spring Cellar Sweater is designed to be a go-to topper – one that fits with and over whatever else you’re wearing. You can pair it with everything from a maxi dress to jeans, and the oversize fit will guarantee style and comfort! I’ve included all the measurements in the Schematic below, so you can choose the perfect size for you.
To stitch this pullover, I used Bernat Softee Cotton in a warm red – and I’m thinking I need to make another! This is a 3/Light or DK weight yarn with a majority cotton content, making it perfect for year- round wear. The simple stitch pattern means is works up fast, with minimal concentration needed.
Whether you’re cozied up during a rainy day, binge-watching your favorite series, or heading out on a weekend getaway, the Spring Cellar Sweater makes the perfect project buddy. It’s lightweight, comfy, and wonderfully beginner-friendly – ideal for your first garment or just a laid-back, feel-good make for any crocheter looking to unwind.

Spring Cellar Sweater Part 4 Tutorial – COMING May 30
Crochet Abbreviations
Back Loop Only –BLO
Foundation Double Crochet – FDC
Mattress Stitch Seaming
Standing Double Crochet Join – STDC
Standing Single Crochet Join – STSC
Special Stitch:
Slip Stitch 2 Together – slst2tog: insert hook in next st, yo and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), insert hook in next st, yo and pull up a loop, pull this loop through the other 2 loops on the hook.
NOTES:
If you prefer not to use Foundation Stitches, you can begin with a chain that you dc into for the first row. Make 2 chs more than the desired first row stitch count, then start the first row with a dc in the 4th chain from the hook. The 3 skipped chs will count as the first dc of the row.
If you prefer not to use the CSDC stitch, you can substitute a ch 3 (counts as first dc).
When instructed to work between stitches, you are not working into a stitch or into a chain space. Instead, insert your hook between the posts of the indicated stitches. The previous stitch is the one most recently skipped or worked into. The next stitch is the one you haven’t worked into or skipped yet.
The sleeves (not including the cuffs) are worked in turned rounds, so even-numbered rows will be worked from “inside” the sleeve. This is important to maintain the look of the stitches and to keep the joining seam under the arm straight.
