Looking for a quick and easy sweater to work up? Well look no further the Forever Fall Sweater is a such a quick and easy one to work up anyone could make it! The pattern is so quick to work up because I used a Bulky weight yarn combined with the Treble crochet stitch which turns out to quite big. I got the inspiration for this sweater from Neflix’s The Baby Sitters Club the sweater that Claudia wears in first season. Isn’t it super cute? well instead of the bright colors I wanted to go with a fall theme for this sweater.
The Yarn
**Disclaimer** Unfortunately I have just found out that Lion Brand is Discontinuing the Color Made Easy line of yarn that I used for this pattern. I checked and you can still purchase this yarn from Joann’s but I am sure that will be for a limited time. So below I have a few other suggestions you can use instead.
Lion Brand Woolspun– This is a new release from Lion Brand so they are very limited in their color choices but I’m sure over time they will add a larger array of colors.
Two of Wands Hue and Me-This would be a great sub but again if you are trying to keep with the Fall theme this yarn is limited in those colors. If you want to work a different color combo by all means go for it!
WeCrochet Brava Bulky– In my opinion this yarn would be the best substitute. It has a great selection of colors for Fall and it is affordable on top of that!
