The Accidental Sweater: A Beginner Friendly Crochet Tutorial

This sweater is so easy! It happened by accident when I just picked up some yarn and a hook and started making..... something. I wasn't really sure of my goal. Sometimes it just feels good to have a hook and some yarn in your hands and this was the result. I hope you love it! I would love to hear what you think in the comments.

Here are the many links I promised (if I forgot any, let me know):
I am so excited to share that I am now a LION BRAND affiliate! So you can get this Scarfie Yarn directly from them now!
I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you choose to buy from my links.

The yarn:
I used two skeins of Lion Brand Scarfie Yarn but if you are sizing up, I would go for 3. You might get away with one if you are making one for a small child. Please show me pictures on my Facebook group if you make a child size one, I would love to see it. Adorable!
There are lots of color choices!

I used a size K hook:
If you don't already have a good aluminum hook set, this one has good reviews, and includes all the most-used hook sizes for under $10

If you need something with all the goodies including measuring tape, needles and stitch markers as well as hooks, this one is a great deal
