Springtime Easy Crochet Pullover Sweater Pattern

I’m going to be honest. I wasn’t crazy about this sweater crochet pattern when I finished it. It looked a little flat (no pun intended) just laid out. I thought this easy crochet pullover sweater pattern was going into the flop folder.

Once I put it on though, I was totally surprised how much I liked the look of it. It’s another very simple, beginner friendly sweater crochet pattern, but no one will know that when they see you wearing yours.

I used Lion Brand Ferris wheel, and Touch of Alpaca, both of which I love. You can also substitute any yarn you prefer, just look for #4 Medium weight yarn and check your gauge.

If you’d like the added convenience of the printable/downloadable PDF pattern with detailed photo instructions, you can purchase them at all my online stores such as: Etsy, Ravelry and LoveCrafts.

On to the free easy crochet pullover sweater pattern, hope you all enjoy 🙂

Joining the pieces together

Sew the front and back panel together

Place your panel right side facing down. We’ll sew on the wrong side. Sew the front and back panel 15( 19, 22, 26, 29, 33 ) st together in each shoulder or if you want a smaller neck line, just sew more st. If you want a wider neck line, just sew less st, but make sure both shoulders are even. Using the tails that we left earlier, sew using which ever method you prefer.

Sew the sleeves to the sweater

Lay your top correct side facing down. Place your sleeves correct side facing down and start sewing on the wrong side with your tail again. The shoulder seam of the main panel should be in the middle of the sleeves and even on both sides.

Sew the sweater together

Fold your sweater in half at the shoulder seam. ( Color A ) : Cut a new strand of yarn 30 – 40 inches long. Start sewing from the bottom up to the side seam until you reach the armpit and then weave the end. ( Color B ) : Cut a new strand of yarn 30 – 40 inches long and continue sewing the sleeve side seam until you reach the cuff of the sleeve. Cut the yarn and weave the end. ( check picture below )
