Crochet Oversized Batwing Sweater

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted my last design and finally as requested, I made a crocheted sweater and this is the outcome.

I wanted to make a sweater that looks like a knitted sweater and this is the best design that I came up with. Honestly, I am not a good knitter but I really love the stitches created by knitting and the closest stitch we can use in crochet to create the knit-like stitch are single crochet and slip stitch. I know it feels like forever to finish a project using single crochet or slip stitch but trust me it will worth all your hard work^^

~If you don’t understand any part of this pattern, please refer to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel~
