Crochet Your Way To Cozy Bliss: Easy Crochet Pattern for The Cozy Delight Sweater
I began making the Cozy Delight Sweater last year to create a cozier version of the Pride Summer Sweater by using thicker yarn. It wasn’t meant to be, and I almost gave up on this project to start a new design with the yarn. However, after several months, I decided to finish it since I had already invested so much time and effort into the process. It felt wrong not to complete the sweater. I’m glad I made that decision because the Cozy Delight Sweater turned out great!
Over the years, I have tried various crochet techniques and challenging projects. However, I believe that the simplest crochet garments are the most wearable.

If you want to give this sweater a try here is what you will need and how to make it:
MATERIALS
- Yarn: Medium weight yarn
- Crochet Hook:
o 5 mm crochet hook - stitch markers (optional for marking the raglan lines)
- yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
NOTES ABOUT DESIGN
Introducing the Cozy Delight Sweater! This top-down crochet design is worked in circular rounds on the right side. We begin with the yoke, then divide for the sleeves and body.
With its relaxed fit, this sweater is perfect for casual wear. The main stitch used is the triple crochet, keeping things simple yet stylish. What’s unique is that the raglan increases are done individually on the body and sleeves. This allows you to customize the circumference of each part to your liking.
To give the sweater a polished finish, we’ll incorporate a double slip stitch or half double crochet slip stitch ribbing pattern for the neckline, cuffs, and bottom hem. This technique creates a ribbed effect, adding texture and a professional touch.
MEASUREMENTS AND SIZES

STITCH PATTERN AND TECHNIQUES
The construction technique used for this sweater is called a rectangle yoke. It means that the yoke part of the sweater is divided into four sections: the front, the back panel, and the sleeves, with four raglan lines separating them.
To shape the sweater, we make increases on each side of each raglan line. This allows us to decide how many stitches to increase for the sleeves and how many for the body of the sweater. We can also choose not to increase stitches for certain sections, like the sleeves, while still increasing stitches for the other sections.
To mark the raglan lines, we will use front post triple crochet stitches, although regular triple crochet stitches can be used as well.
The main stitch used for the Cozy Delight Sweater is the triple crochet stitch. For a neat and finished look, we will incorporate double slip stitches or half double slip stitche, into the back loop only for the neckline, cuffs, and bottom hem.
at the end of the row; the decrease is made by working 2 triple crochet together (tr2tog)

How to make the double slp stitch?
Yarn Over and insert the hook into the back loop of the indicated stitch; yarn over and pull out a loop; pass that loop through the loops on your hook;
For the sleeves we will also make some decreases, one at the beginning of the row and one at the end of the row; the decrease is made by working 2 triple crochet together (tr2tog)
How to Make the Decrease:
Yarn over twice, as you would for a regular triple crochet.
Insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook. You now have two loops remaining on the hook.
Yarn over again, insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook.
Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops to complete the stitch.

BODY
Splitting Round
Before splitting into sleeves and body, let’s summarize the yoke number of sts:
Front and Back Panels:
44 (48, 52, 54, 58) (64, 70, 76, 78) sts
Sleeves:
34 (36, 38, 40, 48) (50, 52, 54, 54) sts
At this stitch count we will add the 4 raglan lines. When splitting the yoke, the raglan lines will go into the body section.
Note: The first stitch in the round is written below as 1tr; as in the raglan section, you can make the first stitch as desired;
Start from where your yarn is
1tr (first staring st), 1tr in each of the next sts until the next raglan line, 1tr into the raglan line, ch 9 (9, 9, 9, 9) (9, 9, 10, 12) sts, skip the sleeve sts up to the next raglan line, 1tr in the raglan fptr, 1tr in each sts until the next raglan line, 1tr into the raglan line, ch 9 (9, 9, 9, 9) (9, 9, 10, 12) sts skip the sleeve sts 1tr into the last raglan line (before the first st)join with a ss into the the first st.
Continuing the BODY
R1: 1tr in each st around (including the armpit chain sts.) Close the round with ss into the first st;
Rep. R1 until you get to the desired length or until you have 14 (14, 14, 14, 15) (15, 16, 16, 16) rounds.
Finish the BODY section with the RIBBING.
SLEEVES
Please note that the sleeves have two connecting points with the body, where you should work sts into the body side row (the splitting round) to prevent any gaps. In this specific design, I used tr2tog twice at each of these points, resulting in an additional four stitches on each sleeve.
R1: rejoin yarn at the armpit; 1tr in each st around (consider the notes above).
R2-R3: rep. R1
R4: 1tr (the starting stitch), tr2tog (decrease), 1tr in next sts until you have 2sts left, tr2tog and ss into the first stitch;
Continue decreasing at every 4th round until you have 16 (16, 16, 16, 16) (16, 20, 20, 20) round;
For sizes XS (S, M, L, XL) (XXL) work 1 (1, 2, 2, 3) (3) more rounds with 1tr in each st.
You can adjust the sleeve length as needed;
I wanted to decrease a few more sts before starting with the ribbing; You can do the same by following the next pattern for the last round;
Last round: 1sc in next 3sts, sc2tog ; *rep to the end of the row
Continue to work 1tr in each st until you get to the desired length, or until you have 17 (17, 18, 18, 19) (19, 20, 20, 20) rounds.
Finish the sleeves with the RIBBING.
RIBBING
Work the ribbing pattern for the cuffs, bottom hem, and collar.
The ribbing is created using half-double crochet slip stitches (or double slip stitches) worked into the back loop only.
The cuffs and bottom hem ribbing are 9 stitches wide, while the collar ribbing is 30 stitches wide. If you prefer a narrower, non-folded collar, you can start with fewer stitches.
To create the cuffs and bottom hem ribbing, begin immediately after completing the sleeve or body of the sweater. For the neckline collar, rejoin the yarn at the midpoint of the sleeve stitches.
Start by chaining the required number of stitches plus 1
R1: start in the second st, 1dss (double slip stitch) in each stitch until the end of the row, 1ss into the next 2sts of the sweater edge (sleeve, bottom hem or neckline); turn
R2: 1dss into the back loop of the next sts to the end of the row; 1ch and turn;
R3: 1dss into the back loop of the next sts to the end of the row, 1ss into the next 2sts of the sweater edge;
Rep. R2 and R3 until you finish the entire circumference of the sweater section (sleeves, bottom hem or neckline)
Join the ribbing edges using slip stitches. For the collar, I chose to overlap an additional 10 rows in the ribbing pattern and leave it open for a stylish touch.
TO FINISH
Weave in all the ends and block to measurements
