Fallow Fawn Roll Neck Sweater Crochet Pattern

Perched in a nearby branch, the soothing yet cheerful song of a robin inspires a calmness in anyone who wanders past, instilling a gentle free spirit and sense of adventure within all.

Perfect for woodland walks on route to foraging for wildflowers and strawberries, the Fallow Fawn Roll Neck Sweater is a comfy and warm everyday layering piece that comfortably drapes over any ensemble as you wander through the dense undergrowth. As seasons swiftly turn from old to new, they bring with them a fresh burst of creativity. Combining the traditional style of a classic turtleneck sweater with the dramatic lofty sleeves of this elegant design creates an ideal statement piece, with a modern twist.

Drift into relaxation in the snuggly warmth and cosy blanket qualities of this oversized sweater; Providing ample room to move for those on-the-go without risk of catching a cold. With its subtle texture and chic details that compliment one another effortlessly, the Fallow Fawn Sweater is an understated classic and soon-to-be favorite in any transitional weather wardrobe.

Some of you may fondly remember the Winter Tempest Blanket I released a few months, mainly because of the beautiful colors used to work up the pattern. Once again, I decided to reach for the soft, squishiness of New Basic 175 Yarn when it came to selecting the perfect blend of durability and comfort for this design! I’d consider this an easy level crochet pattern, but an ambitious beginner may be able to tackle this one as I’ve also included a ton of how-to photos to help make the learning process all the more enjoyable. Ready to embark on this new crochet pattern? You can find the free pattern below, and as always you can discover the ad-free, printable PDF version here, or grab the yarn kit from Lion Brand here.
