Easy Men’s Bulky Sweater Free Crochet Pattern

Hello Everyone!

It’s now day 8 of the 10 days of giving pattern blowout and I’m bringing you the second sweater pattern of the month. This will be the last sweater this month but you can look forward to more coming next month during the 12 days of Christmas pattern blowout.

This sweater uses extremely beginner friendly stitches and a bulky yarn to create an article of clothing that can work up in just a few hours. Seriously this sweater works up SO fast it’s crazy. The ease and speed of this sweater makes a great option for crochet present for the men in your life. I know how hard it can be to make items for men or masc presenting people but this makes it easy!

This pattern will be available in PDF format in my patreon for those who prefer downloadable and printable patterns. Also remember for everyone who signs up during November they get all 10 patterns from this month along with the 3 sweaters I published last month for a small fee of $6.
