Looking for a simple pattern

Hi everyone,

I've done a google search and didn't come up with what I am looking for so I
know the best place to ask is right here. I'm looking for a very basic man's
crocheted cardigan pattern, not a cable or fishermans. It would have to be a
size 50 and I'm doing it in worsted weight yarn. Even if the pattern is in a
booklet that I can get would be all right. DH has asked for a sweater made from
our favorite color Starbright and I don't think my thumb will let me knit one
that big without a lot of extra pain. I've told him I'd be willing to try
crocheting one and he said that would be ok.

Hugs,

Nora

Hi Nora,

I have a simple zippered sweater pattern. It's a knit pattern, but IIRC
there is a site where you can convert to crochet. If you are interested,
email me and we'll sort it out. I can also send a pic of the sweater, if
you'd like.

Hi Nora!

Yes, there´s not so much crocheted for men on the web...
Anyway, I found this one:

At the bottom of the page you can also find a link to a bigger pic. The
size is until 46, but maybe the pattern could be adapted to a 50.

Look for Leisure Arts book #2515, titled Back to Basics. It has patterns for
crochet pullovers and cardigans, V-neck or crew neck, sizes 42 to 50, for men
or women, using sport or worsted weight yarn. (Whew!) Hope that helps some.

Nora, have you located a patt yet? My good crochet books are in
storage one town away, but I can look next time I'm there.......

This is a really dumb question, but when one refers to a size (in this
case)
50 for men's clothing, does that refer to how big the chest is?

Allaya,
The only dumb question is one that you don't ask. Yes, 50 refers to the
chest measurement.

There aren't dumb questions, just dumb mistakes.

Learned that from my 10th grade Biology teacher MANY years ago.

Noreen,

Thanks, I'm going to try and find the Leisure Arts booklet that Carol from SC
posted.

Allaya, yes it's the chest size as Katherine said, so when I make it, if I do,
it's going to be a really big sweater. LOL

Hugs,

Nora
