10 FREE Sweater Patterns | Knit and Crochet

Each week we are pulling together some of our favorite patterns from the Yarnspirations website. Use these patterns to inspire you to try new projects or even some new yarn! This week I have a collection of 10 FREE knit and crochet sweater patterns. Browse through them for your next cardigan or pullover project to put your hooks and needles.

Weekly Theme

Knit and crochet sweaters can sometimes seem intimidating with the amount of work that is required. I am here to tell you that this doesn’t have to be the case. There are patterns that are simple and stunning at the same time.

If you are beginning and haven’t made a sweater before try out one of the more basic patterns. Look for something that doesn’t have shaping, like a rectangle shape. Typically you can’t get away from shaping when it comes to the arms but you can avoid it to start with the body of the sweater.

Pick one of your favorites from the list and get started on building your knit and crochet wardrobe.
