Saturday Sweater – FREE CROCHET PATTERN
Furls Crochet Hook (I accidentally picked up a J on video, but the pattern calls for a K!)
I hope that this tutorial helps! With 8 sizes, I couldn’t make an entire sweater on camera – but the stitches themselves (and indeed the whole sweater!) couldn’t be simpler.
I’ve tried to demonstrate how the shoulders join, and how it comes together – but you will definitely need the written pattern, linked above in the “As Seen” section! And here’s a PIN for your crochet Pinterest board, so you can save it all:
The Saturday Sweater can be yours – and it whips up super fast too! Just watch the video above, and follow the written pattern – and let me know if you have any other questions I haven’t answered yet!
If you’ve enjoyed this video or found it helpful, please do let me know. And if you make the Saturday Sweater be sure to tag me in your photos so I can see them too, @mooglyblog or #mooglyblog! Thanks so much for reading and watching!

like the swater would lovvvve to do the afghaan with animals and buy the pattern but everytime i do a picture or a letter is always backwardsvetc noone ever shows fopr a left handed person for letters ive done alot of your patterns but nothing turns out when i do a picture or letter do you know a way or have anything on this moogle you are a great teacher
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Patricia! For graphs and images like that, when working left handed, you have to work each row of the pattern with color changes in reverse. So for instance, if the instructions said to do 16 sts in Color A, then 12 sts in Color B, then 4 sts in Color A again, you would want to make 4 sts in Color A, followed by 12 sts in Color B, followed by 16 sts in Color A. Does that make sense?
Rebecca says
Love love the Saturday Sweater! Made it on a weekend and was delighted with the results! Fits great! I made mine in antique white and it really looks great with my rose pink tee shirt under it. A cami or sleeveless shirt will work for warmer weather.
Thanks for sharing; I am always pleased when I choose one of your designs to crochet! They are well-written and easy to follow; very professionally done!!
Thanks again!
Tamara Kelly says
Oh wow! That’s so great to hear, thank you Rebecca! ♥♥♥

This is the first crochet garment I’ve made (normally a knitter!) and I’m stuck.
When you join the yarn under the sleeves for the body (in stitch 13), how do you do that?
I put hook through, yarned over & pulled through then my 4 chains but it’s very loose. Everything I’ve googled tells me how to join a new ball of yarn but not how to do this.
Sorry if this is somethinf basic everyone knows but me!
Please help!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Debbie! Since you’re a relatively new crocheter, I would have you join with a slip stitch and then chain – just like you would with a new ball of yarn. The trick is to pull that first slip stitch down really tight with the tail end, and don’t count it when you chain 4 to begin the row. When you weave in that tail, it will be firmly in place, and you can stitch over it in the next few stitches to add a little more strength too. Does that help? Or am I maybe misunderstanding?
Debbie Smetherham says
That makes sense thank you Tamara. I think that’s what I was doing, the tail end just seemed too loose. I will weave it in and hopefully that will fix it.
Love the pattern, can’t wait to wear it!
Tamara Kelly says
😀 I’m so glad! I hope you love the rest too!
irina says
I crochet my first one Saturday sweater, thank you, it’s simple for me, because I’m the new crocheter.
Please make tutorials for the same sweater with round neck and v neck! Please!!!
Tamara Kelly says
I’m so glad you liked it! I look forward to designing all sorts of garments in the future!
Michelle says
Hi Tamara, what stictch do you use to test your gage for this sweater?
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Michelle! It was the stitch pattern shown – so basically, double crochet. 🙂
aino says
It’s been a long time since I crocheted but I LOVE this pattern. My hooks seem bulky and yours have a slim head. I wonder if they work easier than mine. Also really fun to learn a new stitch like the foundation one which seems strong and saves some time too. Thank you for the pattern and all the others that you send too.
Judith Chaney says
Hi Tamara,
I have finished my sweater without sleeves apparently! Need more detail on that part I missed out on.Video if possible.

It’s around the 11 minute mark! 🙂
