A QUICK GUIDE TO THE STITCH USED IN THIS PATTERN
The sweater is worked in Yarn Over Slip Stitch BLO
==> Here is the link of YouTube video tutorial
Note: The back and front panels will be crocheted with the 3mm and 5mm hooks. The 3mm is for the bottom ribbed trims and the 5mm hook is for the torsos. If you are not comfortable with swapping them every rows, you could crochet “YOST in next 14 sts” in all rows with the 5mm hook but this will make the front and back panels not have the ribbed trims.
All of the YOST throughout the pattern are Back loop only.
Tips: You can use a marker to mark the 15 sts at the bottom so that you don’t need to count them every row.
