The Sterling Road Sweater - Turtleneck Crochet Pattern

The Sterling Road Sweater Pattern is here!!

I am so in love with this turtleneck pullover, I’ve been wearing it non-stop since it came off of my hook!

Get the pattern on Ravelry here > > https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sterling-road-sweater

Available in sizes Sm-5x

I designed this pattern with this absolutely gorgeous KT and the Squid Yarn called Dunja, it’s a subtle grey base that has these vibrant flecks of colour throughout!

I love speckles so much, you guys.

The sleeves are cuffed with the July Mystery Yarn that KT and the Squid dyed this summer, and it matched perfectly!

This is one of those designs that people come up and ask you if you made it, and if it’s knitted, so you can answer YES, and NO. It’s crocheted, friends!

So here’s the thing. This will take you a bit to crochet. It’s not a quick project. But will it be worth it? Heck yes!!

I can’t wait to see yours, if you are looking for some alternative yarns, here are a few suggestions:

>> Loops and Threads Woolike

>> KING COLE Comfort 3-ply

>> Bernat Baby

I can’t wait to see your Sterling Road Sweaters! Be sure to tag me on Instagram to show me your progress <3

  Hey there! It just means to continue single crocheting for that many inches.

Is there a way to make this without the turtleneck part? Like start it right at the yoke? This is the only pattern using single crochet that I’ve been able to find, and I really like how the body of this looks. (size 2/3 xl)

  Yes, you could start at the first round of the yoke to omit the turtle neck. Happy crocheting!

Hi, I’m really enjoying working on this project but I’m a little bit confused about separating the arms! At the end of the yoke, I didn’t cut the yarn and went straight into the chain 10 (for the small size) but for the second round, I was unsure whether I should single crochet in the chains as well? The total number of stitches seemed to suggest that I should only continue with the 180 stitches that are there from the yoke, but then round 1 of working the body reduces by 8 stitches, but I can only see a decrease of 4 (the sc2tog after the beginning and before the end of each of the two panels that are still there from the yoke).

I love how this is turning out and would really appreciate a little bit of advice on how to make this work!

  Hey there! Yes, you’ll be sc in the chains as well. When you go on to the decreases, you’ll still have 4 stitch markers, it’s just that 2 of them will be moving onto the chain 10s, does that make sense? So you’ll still be doing the proper amount of decreases.

    Thanks so much for the response, that does make a lot more sense now! One more thing, I can’t quite picture how to decrease on the 10-stitch sections – if I sc 6 and then sc2tog, then I think I’m only 2 away from the next st marker but I still need to sc2tog and sc 6 before the next marker? Sorry for having so many questions, I’m just super super excited for the finished jumper!
