It will vary greatly depending on the size and yarn you chose.

I am SO glad you bumped this up, LaVonne, because I completely forgot to check-in with my newest version

 

Yes, the sleeve idea worked beautifully I have the blue-sy/pinks Pinwheel Sweater packed away until spring, but I made another version that I just adore. Without further ado:

 

My Autumn Pinwheel Sweater

I used 7 skeins of RHSS in the 'Fall' colorway, and I just love it The cuffs on the ends of the sleeves were my own idea and took a TON of yarn and time, but I am pleased with them. They are 3" long, so that I can roll them back and have generous cuffs.

This just makes the sweater feel more snuggly to me. Temps are mighty cool at this time of year, and I have not been too warm in this sweater, despite it being heavier than the sock-weight yarn one. I am still on the lookout for special shawl pin to hold it closed. I am getting by with a bamboo Japanese hair pin, but I want something with a clasp to balance the weight of the yarn I hope I know the style I want when I see it.

 

Thank you SOOOOOO much for this fabulous pattern. It works up perfectly!

That's gorgeous, Dusti! I like the cuffs you added. I still haven't been able to start one yet. I plan on starting one once the last Christmas gift is done.

Well good I just love this sweater I am working on one right now in sock yarn Sockotta Limited in reds and blues. I might have to go get more I only have two balls ea has 414 yrds. Seems to be working up pretty fast I started last night and been workin on it on my breaks at work and now till I go to bed and I have at least a 12 inch circle. I will try to post a pic here shortly.

Ok ladies this is the best I can do for now. I packed my camara up already and all i have is my webcam on my laptop. You know how hard it is to get a pic with the camara eye above your screen. Anyway it looks better in person. The colors are more vivid and the colors shade from red to blue and there is a white strand going through it too. Its very soft!

I just have to find the money for the yarn, and decide on which colors, and this is definitely getting made! I don't like a heavy sweater, but I want it snuggly at the same time. So many decisions!

nice Tute...thanks for sharing Really makes the concept easier to understand

[craftylady1956]

tempted to try this soon.....wished I saw it sooner for Christmas gifts----but there's always next year.

 

I was wondering about the hood...is it part of the sweater and attached later or is it part of the pattern?

The hood is created when crocheting the circle. Only the sleeves are added after the circle is finished.
