Sunny Sweater

The Sunny Sweater is a circular yoke crochet sweater that combines different stitches to create this beautiful texture. It's a cropped sweater, designed to be worn with a skirt or high-waisted jeans, though you can style it however you like or adjust it if you prefer it longer. In that case, you'll need an extra skein. Follow Yellow Knit's pattern to crochet yours!
