I modified the original crochet sweater pattern to accommodate the thinness of the alpaca yarn by alternating rows of single crochet and double crochet. The original pattern is rows of single crochet.
The sleeves and the body length of this pattern are too short for me. This time, I knitted the sleeve bands and the bottom body band with a knit 1 purl 1 pattern for the ribbed look.
This pattern is easy to follow and you can finish it quickly.
