Who’s ready for spring? I am but I’m also not because that means our hot Summer days here in Arizona are right around the corner. Arizona winters are literally the best and it’s what I love most about my new home state. But dang you can’t beat those beautiful summer sunsets.

This lightweight crochet pullover pattern transitions perfectly between seasons and has a simple construction.

This sweater has a simple construction made up of 4 pieces. The 2 body panels are worked exactly the same. The 2 sleeve panels are worked flat then you simply seam them to the body and seam them along the bottom to finish off. The best part is there are no decreases or increases anywhere! The whole sweater is just made up of easy flat panels.

Most of the pullover is worked in half double crochet. This makes it a beginner friendly piece but you may just learn a new stitch that’s not hard to get down. Don’t let the lace stitch scare you away it’s worked easily. I even give you step by step instructions as well as a video tutorial to walk you through.

What can I say about Comfy Cotton Blend? It is one of my top go to yarns for Spring and summer pieces. It has the perfect lightness and comfort to make beautiful pieces while keeping it light. What I also love about Comfy Cotton Blend is it comes with almost 400 yards in each cake! I love yarns that come with more yarn, less skeins I have to buy. I heard a little rumor that this yarn is being discontinued. I sure hope it’s not true, but I would buy up as much as you can while you still can.
