Assembly

Assemble all pieces together in this order:

2. Left seam of left panel to left back panel (be sure to leave room for your sleeves!)
3. Top of front right panel to back panel
4. Right seam of right panel to right side of back panel (be sure to leave room for your sleeves!)
5. Turn sleeves inside out and seam them up against the sleeve hole openings
6. Turn entire piece inside out!
7. Sleam button bland/collar/button holes band by placing the collar on top of the sweater body so you join starting from the bottom right with the collar band facing away from you.&nbsp;

Once assembled, place the button hole band over the button band. Grab 5 stitch markers and place one in the button hold band, marking where the button should go.&nbsp;
Sew the buttons in place.&nbsp;

Buttons

I prefer to assemble all of my pieces inside out using a single crochet stitch to join the two layers.

Pockets

Repeat row 1 until your desired length.

Make you pocket width and length however you'd like. I usually make square pockets using 2 crochet squares seamed together on 3 of the four sides.
Note - Use a smaller crochet stitch (such as a sc or hdc) if you'd like sturdy pockets.
You can also just make two granny squares and add them to the front of the sweater for a different look!

Beginner Crochet Christmas Stockings 

I make stockings every year and this year I decided to make my own beginner crochet Christmas stockings pattern. This pattern is much more simple than it looks. Color changes are what make the pattern looks so nice.
I took inspiration from more of the traditional style crochet but I still wanted the pattern repeat to be simple to follow along as a beginner crocheter.

Wrap the yarn around your entire hand to the left of your first strand, pulling the yarn up, and placing the end between your pinky and ring finger. Insert your hook from right to left under the first yarn strand and grab the second strand, pulling it under the first. Let go of the yarn and chain 1 to secure the circle.
