Sun – Kissed Off The Shoulder Crochet Summer Sweater

Sun-Kissed Comfort: The Off-the-Shoulder Summer Sweater You Need (and Can Make!) (XS – 3XLarge)

Hey there, crochet lovers! Are you ready to make summer even sunnier? Meet your new favorite project: the Off-the-Shoulder Summer Sweater, a breezy beauty that promises equal parts style and comfort—plus a healthy dose of “I made it myself” swagger.

Ah, summer—the time when your crochet hooks long to work up something light, breezy, and fabulous. Enter our Off-the-Shoulder Summer Sweater: a pattern that blends timeless style with pure comfort, inviting you to show a little shoulder (sass optional, but highly recommended!).

If you’re anything like me, summer is for lemonade, lounging, and light layers that feel like a hug from the sun itself. This sweater—crafted lovingly from DROPS Cotton Light yarn in a chic mix of yellow and beige—ticks all the boxes for “must-have.” Whether you’re a confident beginner or someone who’s still learning how to untangle a yarn cake, this pattern is your ticket to crochet glory.

Why You’ll Love This Sweater

Let’s start with the obvious: it’s off-the-shoulder. Cue instant glam, breathability, and serious sun-on-your-shoulders moments. Who needs straps when you’ve got style?

But don’t worry, there’s plenty of substance behind the sass:

  • Made in ONE piece – Say goodbye to puzzling out which sleeve goes where. You’ll whip this up as a single rectangular panel, then give it a quick seam at the end.
  • Sizes for ALL bodies – From Extra Small all the way to 3X Large, everyone gets to flaunt a little shoulder this summer.
  • Beginner friendly – The stitches? Only US single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc). If you can work your way through a row of sc and dc, you’re golden.

The Yarn-y Details – DROPS Cotton Light

This sweater is made with DROPS Cotton Light, a dreamy blend that’s soft, cool, and perfect for sultry summer days. The yellow brings all the summer cheer, while the beige adds sophistication—the dynamic duo you didn’t know you needed.

Did I mention the yarn’s lightweight feel? Translation: no heavy, clingy knits. This drapes beautifully and keeps you feeling breezy (not sweaty) even when the sun’s out to play.

We tested the magic with Drops Cotton Light—a dreamy, affordable, and oh-so-soft blend—using a palette of golden yellow and soft beige. Not feeling the yellow? No problem! This yarn comes in a rainbow of shades to suit every taste and tan. A 5mm crochet hook hooks you up for that perfect goldilocks gauge: not too tight, not too loose, but just right.

Yarn alternatives? Absolutely! Try:

  • Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK
  • Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK
  • Patons Grace
  • Or any soft cotton-acrylic blend DK/light-worsted yarn with a similar gauge!

The Hook: 5mm for Fabulousness

Grab your trusty 5mm crochet hook, a glass of something cold, and you’re ready to roll! The slightly larger hook size gives just enough drape for a flattering fit and a delicate fabric—no stiff sweaters allowed.

Let’s Talk Construction

You know that feeling when you’re staring at sweater parts, unsure which ones you’ve already worked on? Forget that! This pattern is assembled as a single rectangular piece. No sleeve confusion, no fiddly shaping—just pure, satisfying crochet. Once it’s done, a swift seam brings your sweater to life.

That finishing touch? Ribbed cuffs and hem, worked right into your rectangle, bring in cozy, timeless structure. You’ll feel like you spent hours on the details, but really, you’ll be waiting for compliments.

Sizing for Everyone

There’s nothing better than knowing your handmade piece will fit just the way you like it. Instructions are clear, adjustments easy—recommend this to friends, family, your neighbour… Everyone deserves an off-the-shoulder moment!

Designed for all sizes from XS to 3XL, this pattern is as inclusive as it is stylish. Think: beach-boardwalk chic meets sun-drenched garden party. Whether you’re a trendsetting teen, a grown-up goddess, or gracefully mature, this sweater flatters every body.

  • Beach days: Swimsuit underneath, big hat on top, and this sweater as your flowy, seaside-ready layer.
  • Picnic style: Team it with denim shorts, sandals, and a smile.
  • Evening out: Big earrings, breezy palazzo pants, a daiquiri, and your “I crocheted this, thank you very much” attitude.

Beginner Perks

If this is your first time making a garment, you’re in excellent hands. You only need to know two stitches (US sc and dc), and the pattern includes simple explanations—and good vibes throughout.

Quick tip: get yourself a yarn needle for seaming (and weaving in ends—aka, the “crochet victory lap”).

Construction: Built in One Piece (Yes, You Read That Right!)
