Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 9 sizes, where the different sizes are given in parenthesis like this: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
- The pullover is made in 5 pieces, all worked from the bottom up: Back, left front, right front and two sleeves.
- Take measurements to find the size that fits the best.

Size Notes
- This pattern is written to have a close fit, that means about 2.5 – 5 cm ease. Learn more about mastering ease in crochet garments.
Size Adjustments
- Note: Any size adjustments affect yarn usage & you might need more/less yarn than suggested.
- Best places to adjust length on the sleeves is by adding or reducing rows are after row 1.
- Start the sleeve with more/less stitches to make arm wider/narrower.
- Adjust length on the body by adding or reducing rows at the end, make sure you also adjust the length on the fronts. It is recommended to end with a single crochet row.
- Adjust the width on the back by adding/reducing the number of stitches you start with, in a multiple of 1.
- To adjust length on the fronts it is easiest to do so before you start decreasing. Make sure you adjust both fronts & the back with the same amount of rows. It is recommended to end with a single crochet row.
