Autumn Bloom Sweater
About the Design
My new design, the Autumn Bloom Sweater is a new design featuring in the Crochet Foundry November Issue! I am honoured to be featured in a magazine that has inspired me for years, and I’m so excited to share this fresh new design!
The Autumn Bloom Sweater is a modern crochet garment perfect for all occasions, a pretty piece that will show off your crafting skills! It combines classic elements like raglan construction with contemporary features such as fresh stitch patterns and modern embroidery to create a snuggly sweater. Stunning floral embroidery adds a feminine touch to this design that is explained thoroughly in a step by step video tutorial.
Embroidery
I
love combining crafts, and so adding embroidery to this crochet sweater was a fun challenge for me! I’m really happy with how it turned out, and how customisable it is. Will you just embroider the hem? The cuffs or sleeves? Add multicoloured embroidery? The possibilities are endless!

Materials
For this design, I used Premier Yarns Rustic and Furls Crochet Alpha Series Olivewood Hook.
I loved working with this yarn, it is super bulky, affordable, and very soft. The heather creates a gorgeous depth to the projects and there is a large range of colours to suit your personal style! The bulky weight is very beginner friendly and at USD $6.99 per 200g, very affordable for a large project.
Furls Alpha Series was my first ergonomic crochet hook, and I definitely noticed the difference! The hook fit perfectly in my hand and was smooth and easy to crochet with. I definitely recommend treating yourself (and your hands!) to a nice hook.
