Crochet pullover is a must make for this season. A perfect gift for your loved ones. Read through my inspiration, design process, and a perfect yarn I chose. Or scroll down for the free pattern.
The inspiration + Design
I always love chevron stitch and thought a crochet chevron sweater would be a great gift for my husband. Although, this pattern is a unisex sweater/pullover and you can pretty much make this one for everyone in your family including yourself. The pointing ends of the sweater giving a fairy look and feel. We love everything magical and woodland life, so this is a perfect piece for him.
The construction of this design is pretty simple so don’t let chevron stitch overwhelm you. After halfway through the panel, I kind of loving the repetitive of the stitch and it goes very smooth and rather fast.
I LOVE YOU Pullover is just 2 panels connected with an easy sleeve crocheted from the shoulder downward with scblo.
Yarn
I choose to work with Simply Alpaca yarn because I am a huge fan of natural fiber. You can use any Aran weight yarn you want, but make sure you have enough of it. I have used 1800 yards to make this sweater/pullover.

The measurement: Shoulder to shoulder
(The size below is according to the craft yarn council standard.)
S 15 ½ – 16”, M 16 ½ – 17”, L 17 ½ – 18”, XL 18” – 18 ½, 2XL 19” – 20”, 3XL 20” – 21”
4XL 21” – 21 ½, 5XL 22” – 22 ½
In this pattern, I am demonstrating XL 18”
My model’s measurement shoulder to shoulder is 18”
***I decided to make 6 sets instead of 5 as 5sets measure 17 ½ ***
It’s better to have it slightly wider. But you should not add more than one set from the measurement.
I made 6 sets of 25 + 5ch = 21”
All suggestion numbers in the pattern are only the guideline. Please measure along for the best fit.
Suggestion sets: ( I recommend you use your own measurement for the best fit.)
S, M 5sets, L, XL 6 sets, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL 7sets
Colors code:
CHO = Chocolate, B = Brown, G =Gray, W = White
Back panel:
Here it is when it lays flat.
Here it is when pulled.
The stitch is quite elastic. The idea is to have positive ease but not oversized.

DO NOT CUT THE YARN
Side body:
Body/Belly same or less than shoulder:
When the widest part of the body/belly measures the same or less as the panel you only need to add sc row.
Sc row – ch1, adding 1sc on the side of your work evenly.
I made a total of 120 sc, ch1 cut the yarn.
Body/Belly wider than shoulder but not more than 5”:
Make 5 rows of sc each side.
Body/Belly wider than shoulder:
When the panel measure 21”, but the widest part of the body/belly measure 31”
31” subtract 21” = 10” divided by 4 = 2 ½ , you will be adding 2 ½ on each side of the body with OCEAN WAVES design (see below).
IMPORTANT: Your last row of OCEAN WAVES should be on R.4 or R.8.
Ocean waves design: A multiple of 16 + 1 (extra sc)
Watch the video on how to do Tr straight edge However, the video shows dc straight edge, you only need to add one more sc using the same method.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE STITCHES! The whole pattern of this part is not using the same stitches as it is a waving design and so the stitches are designed to be different along the row. THIS PART IS NOT FOR WATCHING NETFLIX!
The diagram shows 3 sets of 16 + 1 (extra sc)

Note:
- I stopped here because my front panel now measures 30” which is the same as the back panel. You will need to do the same no matter how many inches your back panel has. Stop your shoulder part once you get the same length.
- I highly suggest you finish the other shoulder before adding the side body. This way you can have the model try it on and see if this would fit them well.

DO NOT CUT THE YARN
Side body: Follow what you did on the back panel for the side body.
Connect the shoulder part of both panels by facing RS together and sew with a yarn needle.
Trimming on the neckline: B
(RS) Rnd1 – sl kn on the shoulder part, ch1, sc in the same st, sc in each stitch across,
Tips:
- Try not to add too many stitches on Rnd1
- When it turns out to be a bit wavy you can DEC the next row instead of undoing it.
- There will be no ch in the next row as we are working in a spiral.
Rnd2 (DEC) – sc in each st across, however, I did one sc 2tog, a total of 90sc, ch1, cut the yarn.
Armholes:
Measure from the shoulder down to where you want to leave the space for the armhole, add a stitch marker. Do the same on the other side.
Suggestion armhole : 10” – 11”
I have 10” for the armhole. You can have more here but make sure you don’t make it too big. Best way is to have the model try it on and see how much space she/he needs.
Connect the panels: CHO
With RS facing each other, use a yarn needle to connect the panels together.
Tip: The best way to connect the panels is to sew from the bottom up this way when you need more or less space for the armhole you don’t need to undo from the beginning.
Simple sleeve: (RS)
B – Rnd1 – sl kn at the armpit, ch2, hdc in the same st, hdc in each stitch across, sl st on the first sc, a total of 80hdc,
Note:
- On Rnd1 you may have a different number count.
- There will be no ch in the next row as we are working in a spiral.
- Add a stitch marker on the first sc of the row as it helps for counting the row.

What I want you to know:
- If you want to have the sleeves wider and not snug like the ones I made in this pattern. Stop your last DEC at Rnd46 (48sc) and continue the rest of the sleeve with scblo until you get the length you desire.
- Block your work. It helps to relax the fibers and make the whole garment soft and flowy to wear. I prefer the steam block method. Watch how I steam block my garment.
I hope you enjoy this crochet pullover!
