Bristlecone Pullover Crochet Pattern Download

Description

Crocheting for men can be challenging – not only does it take a while, but there’s no guarantee they’ll wear it when you’re finished. The best strategy is to keep it simple: Make a style they like with a dashing detail to keep you entertained while crocheting. This sweater’s easy half-zip style and intarsia cabled front follow that guideline.
