The Dahlia Crochet Motif Pullover Pattern is a very adaptable design. This is a crochet project dedicated to the exploration of gauge. You can make this sweater in any weight yarn, and the math has been worked out for 9 sizes, too! You have two unique options for adjusting the gauge for adjusting the gauge to make any size: either match the gauge and make the motifs exactly as written, or continue in the established pattern to grow. Or you can continue in established pattern to grow the motifs larger for the perfect fit. The sample is shown in worsted weight yarn and size 36.

What you will need:

• 1300 yds (2,288.7m) #4 worsted weight yarn
• H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• scissors
• yarn needle

Note: Because you can use any weight yarn to make any size of this pattern, use the yardage estimate guide below to determine the yardage for your project.
