but it's already in my 'ready-to-wear' collection in my closet! ;)

I decided to go with the off white stripes instead than using the orange-coral-ish,
but you can play with different color and give it your own twist!

2 balls x 50 gr alpaca navy blue

2 balls x 50 gr alpaca navy blue

3-1/2 mm knitting needles, one 4 mm knitting needle, 3-1/2 mm circular needle, 3.75 mm crochet hook and a wool sewing needle
Ready to knit and crochet? check the easy step-by-step tutorial!
1* knit 1:1 ribs with the 3½ mm needles for 2½" (odd number of stitches)
{for my sweater - I'm a size 2 - 105 stitches for front and back and 53 stitches for the sleeves}
{for my sweater - I'm a size 2 - 105 stitches for front and back and 53 stitches for the sleeves}
2* bind off the stitches using the 4 mm needle (all knit)
3* leave the last stitch on and start using the crochet hook
4* & 5* 1st row: chain 3 - skip 1 st - 1 double crochet - chain 1 - skip one st - 1 double crochet - till the end of the row
6* 2nd row: chain 2 - 1 double crochet (not into the chain st, but into the 'bridge') - chain 1 - 1 double crochet - till the end of the row - the last double crochet will be onto the stitch of the previous row
3rd row: chain 3 - skip 1 st - 1 double crochet into the 'bridge' - chain 1 - skip one st - 1 double crochet into the 'bridge' - till the end of the row
4th row: repeat from 2nd row
ALTERNATING COLORS:
38 rows caramel
9 rows navy blue
3 rows cream
2 rows navy blue
3 rows cream
9 rows navy blue
DECREASE: I'm not sure I did it the correct way, but I slip stitched in position and then crocheted without finishing the whole row on the other side.
INCREASE: decide how wide need to be your sleeve, and divide evenly the number of increases needed - to increase: add an extra chain stitch in between double crochet stitches at the beginning and the end of even rows.
COLLAR: with the 3½ mm circular needle cast on 108 stitches and knit on 1:1 ribs for 1-1/4", then knit on stockinette for 3 rows with a contrast color (this contrast color will be unraveled after the collar will be sewn onto the sweater)
wow! your so talented!

Easy?? I'm already confused?? How many do you cast on??? This deserves a step by step video tutorial. I've never knitted and crocheted at the same time before, and I can only knit. This is beautiful and I'd love to recreate it, but I'm already confused. Help!
