♡ ABOUT: Example is a stash busting sweater designed to use up all of your scraps in a colourful cosy garment that you can bundle up in whilst crocheting. Example has two panels for the front and back, sleeves made in the round and then the jumper is seamed together with a contrast seam.

Example got its name as it was the garment used as an example when I was writing Workbook one of the HG Designs Crochet Handbook for the Pattern Designer. I joked in the Workbook that I may as well publish the pattern, so here it is.

The pattern includes both UK and US terminology with clear and detailed instructions.

This pattern has been tech edited and tested.

Fantastic Sweater

I loved being a tester for this pattern! I chose colors that were fairly close to the example but there were others in the group who made equally stunning sweaters with a light contrast yarn and a more simplified color palate so the pattern is very versatile. The fit is great, which is saying a LOT coming from me because I am under 5 feet tall and sizing can be complicated. I already have a request to make this again for a friend!

I love this pattern!

I recommend this pattern for many reasons:

- it's perfect if you are a beginner because you have to use only basic stitches;
- it's a great project if you want to use scrap yarn and create your unique sweater;
- the pattern is full of explanations and useful pictures/diagrams;
- it's so easy to translate;
- if you need help, there are many ways to get in touch with Heather.

Great crochet pullover

Example is a beautiful and easy to crochet pullover. I was lucky enough to test the pattern and I love the sweater that I got out of it.
The pattern is very well written and can be crocheted by anyone who knows the basic crochet stitches and is also very adaptable if you want to change the width or length.
I used a very colourful yarn (held double with black) but this project is a fantastic stash buster in which you can use up all your left over yarns from former projects - that's the way I plan to crochet my next Example pullover!
