PDF Crochet pattern for the 'Overachiever' 4in1 pattern, it contains instructions on a sweater, a vest and they can be made with either a crewneck or a V-neck.
Both garments have a straight, oversized fit with shaped armholes/sleeve insets and are intended for all genders. It's worked in separate panels, side to side, in half double crochets through the third loop at the front, with ribbings made in yarn over slip stitches. It's a text heavy pattern, with no photos for the steps and is suitable for confident intermediate crocheters and up. Pattern is in English by default, but available in Swedish upon request.
