I am so happy to be sharing my newest sweater crochet pattern with the Joy of Motion community today. 🙂 My idea for this design was to create a hoodie sweater that is both super comfy and stylish.
When I finished the design, my daughters and I felt it reminded us of that warm and cozy hoodie you’d grab on those cool autumn evenings in front of the campfire – thus, the Cozy Campfire Striped Hoodie was born! It’s available in sizes XS-L and it’s beginner-friendly.
You can also find the sizes XL-3XL in the new PDF version of the pattern.

The Yarn
This crochet pattern in two colors uses YarnBee Soft & Sleek – in Dark Heather Gray and Pumpkin Spice – because it’s soft yet durable.
It’s a medium 4 weight yarn made from 100% low-pill acrylic so your sweater won’t get as many of those annoying little fuzzies that tend to form on your favorite sweaters!
SUMMARY
Autumn is my favorite time of year. The gorgeous hues and the cool crisp air just tantalize my senses. It’s the time of year to break out your cold weather wardrobe and this hooded sweater is the perfect addition!
Designed with only two basic stitches, the pieces of this sweater are a cinch to work up and easy to put together, creating a warm and fashionable fall pullover you’ll love to wear all season long!
How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

- Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger.

Techniques You Will Need
The Whip Stitch, a technique used for seaming two crochet fabric pieces together.
Hold fabric pieces together with edges aligned.
Thread tapestry needle with coordinating color of yarn and push needle through the first stitch on the first piece of fabric and then through the first stitch on the second piece of fabric. Then push threaded needle back through the second stitch on the second fabric piece and through the second stitch on the first piece of fabric.
Continue in this manner moving from the first piece of fabric to the second piece of fabric and then from the second piece of fabric back to the first piece of fabric – through every stitch – to the end of both fabric pieces.
