Annie Hall Sweater

This project is from the September/October 2011 edition of Crochet Today.  As you can probably guess from my previous blogs, I am very much into everything vintage.  I especially love this sweater because it reminds me of a 70s style preppy cardigan.

Pattern: Annie Hall Sweater (September/October 2011 edition of Crochet Today)

Description: Casual wrap sweater inspired by 70s fashion icon Annie Hall.

Yarn Used: Caron's Simply Soft Tweed Yarn in Dark Sage (You may be able to find this online but quantities are limited) This is a worsted weight yarn that is 96% super soft acrylic and 4% rayon. I loved the green tweed look. It can be substituted with any other worsted weight yarn such as Caron's simply soft. The pattern calls for SMC Northern Worsted which is a 100% acrylic yarn.

Sizing: I believe I made this in a large.  This pattern is available in in sizes S-2X.

Instructions: I would say this pattern was very easy to follow.  I had no issues completing this project.

Changes: I only substituted the yarn...I do that a lot!

Level of Difficulty: Crochet Today rates this one as "Intermediate" skill level.

Timing: It took me a few weeks to complete this sweater.

This is my go-to sweater for that vintage preppy look.  I can see myself running through the streets of New York to a meeting in this one! I love to pair it with jeans or stylish khakis.  I would definitely recommend this pattern to other fashion lovers and crocheters alike!

Until next time...
