I love it and I just have the feeling that I am saying

that about all my patterns .

This pattern is for sizes from S to XXL. We will work

each square individual and we will join them as we
go.

We will make the plaid summer sweater bigger just

by adding more stitches on the square.

I used Scheepjes SoftFun. Is a DK Yarn, a mix of

cotton and acrylic. The recommended size hook is
3.5 – 4 mm ( E – G ) and I used a 4.5 mm crochet
hook ( size 7 US).

Here you can find some other yarn suggestions

You will approximate need:

S – 300 grams / 840 m / 915 yds

M – 325 grams / 910 m / 990 yds
L – 350 grams / 970 m / 1050 yds
XL – 370 grams / 1030 m / 1120 yds
XXL – 400 grams / 1100 m / 1200 yds

This is in total but you will need to split this values

in 2 and choose 2 color that you like.

From Scheepjes SoftFun I used Mint Green and Dark

Grey.

Final measurements of the sweater

S – Bust 92 cm ( 36.5 “), Length 58 cm ( 23 “)

M – Bust 104 cm ( 41 “) , Length 65 cm (25.5 “)
L – Bust 112 cm (44 “), Length 70 cm ( 27.5 “)
XL – Bust 124 cm ( 49″), Length 62 cm ( 24.5 “)
or 77 cm (30 “)
XXL – Bust 132 cm (52″), Length 66 cm (26 “)
or 82 cm (32,5 “)

Gauge

20 st = 11.5 cm ( 4.5″) ( filet stitch: 1 dc, ch 1, skip 1)

10 rows = 11.5 cm ( 4.5″)

With each bigger size the square will be bigger. So,

the pattern is the same for all sizes.

S – 20 sts + 3 and 10 rows

M – 22 sts +3 and 11 rows
L – 24 sts +3 and 12 rows
XL – 26 sts +3 and 13 rows
XXL – 28 sts + 3 and 14 rows

We will use Filet Stitch:

Ch 4, skip 1st st, 1 dc in the next, [ch 1, skip 1, 1 dc]

and repeat the section in [ ] to the end of the row.
Repeat this row as pattern requires.

We will work 2 identical panels for back side and

front side.

I guess, with all this being said we can start the this
Plaid Summer Sweater.

Begin by making the first square according with the

size in which you want to make this Plaid Summer
Sweater.
Row 1 of squares

After making the 1 st square, change the color and

we will begin to work square 2, but not on the top of
the square as normal but on the side.

We will adding squares on the right until we get to

the width that we need.

For all sizes we will have in total 4 squares.

Remember that for each size the square has
different measurements.

After finishing square #2 we will add in the same

manner 2 more.

Well here is a sketch of the row 1.

Row 2 of squares

As you saw we alternate the colors with each square.

To begin the row 2, change the color and make the

1st square of the second row on the top of the last
one made on the previous row.

Now beginning with square #2 of the second row we

will start to join the squares with the correspondent
square of the previous row.

Is important from now on to begin each of the next 3

squares on right side of your work, because the join
with the other row will look better in this way.

To be easy to understand how we will work this 2nd

row here is the sketch.

this pattern here.
So, the second square will start in the opposite
corner where the yarn is after finishing the square
#1.

Beginning with square #2, at the end of each row we

will join with the correspondent row of the square on
the previous row.

In general this will be the 2 situation of joining.

On second row we have the first situation.

So, at the end of the row, ch 1, sl st with the last dc of

the correspondent row of the square on the previous
row, ch 2, sl st with the last dc of the next row of the
previous square, ch 1 and turn.

Continue with the stitch to the end of the row.

With the square #3 and #4 you will proceed the

same as #2.

Row 3 of squares

As we made on the 2nd row, we will change color and

make the first square on the top of the last one.

Now as I said, is important to join the squares on the

right side of your work.
So, on row 3 we will work the squares 2 to 4 on the
top of the ones made on previous row, and join them
with the squares worked before on the current row.

Here is the sketch

Row 4 it will be the same as row 2. And row 5 the

same as row 3.

As I said the bigger the square is the bigger the size.

That’s why for sizes XL and XXL I let 2
measurements of length.

You will choose if you want to work 4 or 5 rows on

these sizes.

After finishing all 4 or 5 rows, one panel is done and

we will have to proceed the same in the second one.

Now that we have the 2 panels is time to assemble.

Sew on the shoulders the width of one square on

each side.
Let 1 square and a half for the arm hole and sew the
side edges.

Sleeves

I worked the sleeves, one with a color and one with

the other.

We will work in rounds.

Insert the yarn into the stitch at the armpit.

Chain 4 and make the filet stitch all over the arm
hole edge.

At the end of the round sl st with the 3rd stitch of the

starting chain.

Repeat this row for as many rows as you want until

you get to the desired length of the sleeve.

I made 26 rows and then I added a border of 2

rounds in single crochet made with the other color.

Repeat the same with the other sleeve.

At the end I added 1 row in single crochet on the

collar and 2 rows in sc on the bottom.

And this was it.
