This crochet pattern is a simple, classic design for a mock-turtle neck, pullover sweater. It features faux-knit ribbing down the front and back panels, and the sleeves. The sweater, though it looks simple, takes a few ‘normal’ crochet practices, and tweaks them slightly for this all original look –an uber-cozy, chic sweater that can work on both men and women.

This sweater, that I now refuse to take off, was largely inspired by the yarn used to create it. I used a sustainably sourced, alpaca yarn, by the Rare Creature, (though it can work with any fluffy yarn.) The color and coziness reminds me of a nice Sunday afternoon curled up with a cup of tea and some toast. This pattern features a full photo tutorial with size options for S M, L, XL
