As the leaves turn and the air grows cooler, fall is the perfect time to embrace cozy crafts celebrating the season. As much as I love curling up with my crochet hooks and a cozy ball of yarn, sometimes it's refreshing to try something new!
If you're an experienced crocheter like me, you already know the joy of working with your hands. But when it comes to learning a new craft, it can feel a little intimidating, especially if you're used to sticking to yarn and hooks!

Pumpkin Trio Mini Needle Felting Kit
As the leaves begin to turn and the crisp breeze fills the air, the enchanting season of autumn takes center stage. What better way to embrace its cozy charm than by decorating our spaces with charming crochet pumpkins?
These delightful crochet pumpkins are not your typical crochet pumpkins. I've purposely handpicked the most unique and FREE crochet pumpkin patterns from the Internet for you to enjoy.
They not only add a touch of handmade warmth to your home but they also offer a canvas for artistic expression.
So I recently came across this crochet sweater with just sleeves. Yes, you read that right - it's a bodiless sweater. Some call them arm warmers or even arm warmer sweaters (if you can consider them sweaters).
It's a trendy fashion thing that kind of started last year. It might not be for everyone (at first), but I think it's one of those things that the more you see them, the more they grow on you.
I started searching the internet for arm warmer crochet patterns for how to make these arm warmer sweaters. There were a few crochet patterns available at the time of writing this article, but not many. On the other hand, I found a number of YouTube tutorials.
What is an Arm Warmer Sweater?
It's essentially a super-cropped top that includes a neck/collar and long-sleeve arms. Like leg warmers, these were initially used by athletes such as dancers/gymnasts for workouts and warm-ups to help prevent cramping, but have since become a trend.
These bodiless sweaters are just a collar and sleeves. There is normally no torso to this kind of sweater. The collar may vary (i.e. turtlenecks, hoods, etc.). However, the length of these "sleeves-only" sweaters typically stops above the breasts.
How do you wear Super Cropped Tops?
Super-cropped tops are not meant to be worn on their own. Because of the length of these bodiless sweaters, if you wore them alone, you'd be flashing everyone.
They are normally meant to be worn on top of something like a tank top, sports bra, bodysuit, or leotards (if you're a dancer/gymnast). But with that said, you can typically swear them over any sleeveless top/dress.
