Translate the pattern from English to German

Hi,
I’m, let’s say, an “advanced beginner” at crocheting. That means once I understand the pattern, the rest isn’t really difficult for me.
Now I have a problem: I’d love to crochet a sweater, but I’ve already looked through lots of different patterns and, unfortunately, I can only find ones in English that I like. I’m usually pretty good at English, but since I already have a hard time with patterns in German, I really can’t make much sense of the English one.
So my question is: Can anyone here translate the pattern for me in a way that’s easy to understand? Or recommend a similar pattern in German?

Thanks in advance,
Best, Lisa

Hi Lisa,
welcome to our community.
Please ask the author for permission before having the pattern translated.
That would be a good idea.

I got the free pattern from Pinterest; I don’t know how to contact anyone there...

(Here’s the pattern too)
Link removed, Mod.

I’ve removed the link.
As a mod, I don’t think it’s okay to link to a free pattern offered on another platform when this platform both sells patterns and offers free ones as well. It’s a bit like going to a supermarket, promoting a free bargain from a competitor or another platform, and then asking for free translation help in return. This isn’t meant as an attack, but it’s not really okay.
That said, this is Crazypatterns—we’re happy to help and offer a virtual home to many craft enthusiasts. So here are a few alternatives for you:

How about this solution:
Here are all our free crochet patterns, and we really do have a lot of them:
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/kostenlose-haekelanleitungen
Maybe you’d like to browse there and see whether you find something?
Alternatively, you can enter a suitable keyword in the search box (right at the top of the page) and then sort by “lowest price first.” That will show you the free patterns first, then the inexpensive ones, and then all the others in ascending price order.
An oversized sweater made with slightly thicker yarn, with open shoulders / cold shoulders / cut-outs at the shoulders // a Carmen neckline, shouldn’t be too hard to find. Why not just give it a try?

Oh, I’m really sorry about that—I didn’t mean to upset anyone...
Thanks for the tip; I’ll see if I can find something
