Lang 267-33 Liza Crochet Sweater

What is Being Made

The Lang 267-33 Liza is a sophisticated crocheted sweater designed by Lang & Co. AG, available in four sizes ranging from Small to Extra Large. This garment features an elegant lace construction with a refined drape, making it an ideal piece for a polished, versatile wardrobe. The sweater is available in a beautiful salmon colorway and is crafted to provide a comfortable fit across bust measurements of 42½ to 52 inches (108 to 132 centimeters).

Construction Method and Techniques

This sweater employs a distinctive sideways construction technique, meaning the body is crocheted horizontally from side to side rather than in the traditional bottom-up approach. This method allows for unique shaping and creates interesting visual lines in the finished garment. The sleeves are worked separately using a top-down approach, which provides excellent fit control at the armhole and neckline. All pieces are worked flat on a crochet hook, then seamed together to create the finished sweater. This combination of techniques results in a garment with clean, professional finishing.

Stitches and Pattern Details

The sweater features a beautiful lace stitch pattern that creates an open, airy fabric with excellent drape. The primary pattern stitch uses a repeating sequence of double crochet stitches combined with chain spaces, creating a classic lace aesthetic. Specifically, the pattern alternates between double crochet stitches and chain-one spaces, with strategic skipped stitches that form the characteristic openwork of the lace design.

• Pattern Stitch Structure: The pattern is established over two rows. Row 1 begins with three rising chains, then repeats one double crochet followed by a chain-one space with one skipped stitch from the previous row, ending with a final double crochet. Row 2 mirrors this structure, working double crochet stitches into the chain spaces of the previous row while maintaining the chain-one spacing throughout.
• Gauge: At the recommended gauge of 28 stitches and 13 rows equaling 4 inches (10 centimeters) using the pattern stitch, the fabric achieves the intended drape and fit.
• Specialty Shaping: The pattern includes strategic chain spaces of varying lengths (ch 12, ch 8, ch 6, and ch 4) incorporated into the body sections, which create intentional shaping for the armholes and neckline without requiring traditional decreases.

Materials and Tools

This sweater is crafted from Lang Yarns Liza, a luxurious blend of viscose, extra fine merino wool, and silk. This fiber combination creates a sophisticated fabric with excellent drape and a subtle sheen. The yardage requirements vary by size: Small requires 350 grams (7 balls), Medium requires 400 grams (8 balls), Large requires 450 grams (9 balls), and Extra Large requires 550 grams (10 balls). The yarn is worked with an ADDI crochet hook in size US D (3 millimeters), which is essential for achieving the correct gauge and fabric density.

An important note for crafters: garments made from silk and viscose blends should be crocheted slightly shorter than typical, as these fibers have a natural tendency to stretch and lengthen with regular wear and washing. This consideration is already factored into the pattern length specifications provided.
