You have the skills to make a pullover sweater if you can do single crochet and double crochet.You can use an easy mesh stitch pattern to crochet 2 rectangular panels.2 smaller rectangles will become the sleeves.The pattern doesn't work in the round so you'll need to sew the pieces together at the end.
Step 1: Determine which size sweater you want to make by taking your measurements.
Make a note of the size with a measuring tape around your bust.Measure how long you want the sweater to be.Small (S): 32 in ( 81 cm) bust and 23 in (58) cm length, Medium (M): 36 in (991) cm bust, and Large (L): 40 in (100 cm).
Step 2: Depending on the sweater size, you can buy 4 to 6 skeins of yarn.
You can choose worsted weight yarn in any color you want.Each skein should weigh 5 ounces and be more than 200 feet long.Pick yarn that is comfortable and made of cotton, wool, or a blend.Depending on the size you're making, get out: S, M, L, and XL.
Step 3: Make a chain stitch with a crochet hook.
Attach a slip knot to the hook.Pull the yarn through the knot by wrapping it around the hook.This will make 1 ch.
Step 4: To make a foundation chain, crochet ch stitches.
Wrap the yarn around the first ch you made to make another ch stitch.To make a ch stitch, pull it through the loop.To create a foundation chain, make a total of 75 chains.
Step 5: A single crochet.
sc stitches are used to create a nice edge that lays flat for your panel.
Step 6: It's Ch.
The work should be turned to start the second row.After skipping the first stitch on the row, insert your hook into the second stitch to slip stitch.Wrap the yarn around your hook and pull it through the loops.This will be the beginning of a simple mesh stitch.
Step 7: It's Ch.
Across row 2, there is a sl st.You need to ch 2 stitches to work the pattern.Attach your hook to the following stitch on the row.Keep working the pattern until the end of row 2.
Step 8: It's Ch.
The work should be turned to start the third row.When you get to the end of the second row, ch 2 and flip the work over.You can go below the ch 2 you made on the last row.Continue until you reach the next space across the row.The pattern for this row is ch 2, turn, sl st into the space below and then repeat in the next sp until the end of the row.The fabric you're crocheting should look like a loose mesh.
Step 9: Make row 3's pattern until the panel is as long as you want.
Continue until you reach the next gap for every row.Continue crocheting until your sweater panel is at least 21 2 in (55 cm) long.
Step 10: Attach the panel to the crochet one.
Tie off the end of the panel with an 8 in (20 cm) tail once you've made it as long as you want.Attach the tail to the panel.Make another panel with the same dimensions.
Step 11: To start the widest part of a sleeve, chain up a new row.
You'll be crocheting a piece of fabric that's wide at one end and narrow at the other so you can fold it into a tube and make a sleeve.To start a sleeve, use your size L crochet hook and make: S: 49 chains M: 55 chains L: 61 chains
Step 12: The state of South Carolina.
Every stitch across row 1.sc into the following stitch if you want to skip the first ch stitch.Continue until you reach the end.The upper part of the sleeve is being worked on.
Step 13: It's Ch.
Before working the pattern for row 2, there are two things you need to do.Turn the work once you've finished the first row for the upper sleeve.If you want to skip the single crochet stitch, sl st into the next stitch.sl st into the following stitch all across row 2 after ch 2.The pattern for the row is: ch 2, sl st into the next stitch.
Step 14: Ch.
2 and sl st into the space below.The work should be flipped at the end of row 2.Start the pattern for the rest of row 3 from the ch 2 space below.To work row 3, repeat: ch 2, sl st into the next space.
Step 15: The sleeve is 5 inches (13 cm) long if you repeat the pattern for row 3.
Before you start working with a smaller crochet hook, you should make the upper sleeve.The sleeve narrows at the mid-section when you decrease the stitches.
Step 16: It's Ch.
3 people are using a size K hook and double crochet.To begin working the mid-section of the sleeve, switch to a size K hook.The work should be turned before you put it in the first ch 2 space.2 dc stitches are made into the next ch 2 space.Continue to 2 dc in the next ch 2 space.
Step 17: It's Ch.
Every stitch across the row has 3, sk st, and dc in it.The work should be turned after ch 3.For the rest of the mid-section row, skip the first and last stitch.
Step 18: Continue until you get another 5 inches (13 cm) in the mid-section.
Turn the work when you reach the end of the row.The first stitch on the row should be skipped.Continue this pattern until the mid-section that you're working with the K hook is reached.
Step 19: Continue the pattern for another 6 inches with a size H hook.
The lower section of the sleeve can be made with a size H crochet hook.Continue this pattern for a total of 6 inches (15 cm).
Step 20: Before you make another sleeve, cut a tail and weave in the end.
Cut a 6 in yarn tail and thread it onto a tapestry needle.To hide it, weave the end through the sleeve.Make another identical sleeve.
Step 21: For a cuff, use a size L hook.
A crochet hook and ch 6 are needed.The second stitch is from the hook.Next, sc across the row.Turn the work when you get to the end.
Step 22: The state of South Carolina.
For every row, through each.If you want to sc blo, insert your hook into the back of the stitch.For the row, crochet through the back of every stitch.
Step 23: If your sweater panel is wide, you can crochet the cuff.
Before you sc blo into each stitch across the row, continue to ch 1 and turn the work.The cuff needs to be long enough to fit across the bottom of the panel.Tie off the yarn and put it in the tail.
Step 24: Put 2 cuffs on the sleeves.
2 short cuffs will go at the small ends of the sleeves if you repeat this pattern.If the sleeve ending is wide, then work each cuff until it's as long as it is.Before weaving the yarn into the fabric, you need to thread it onto the tapestry needle.If your sleeve is 13 cm wide, make the cuff 5 inches long.
Step 25: Attach a needle to each sleeve.
You can create a tube shape by folding the long sides of the rectangles you made for a sleeve.Then, thread a needle with at least 40 inches (100 cm) of yarn and whipstitch the sides together.
Step 26: Take the long sides of the body panels and whipstitch them together.
Put the panels on top of each other and whipstitch from the bottom up towards the top.You can sew the sleeves in place if you leave enough space near the top of the panels.
Step 27: Put the sleeves on the sweater and whipstitch the top of the shoulders.
Put the sleeves in place and whipstitch them to the sweater.Continue to sew along the top of the shoulders and leave an opening in the sweater for your head.Tie off the yarn and weave it in the ends.
Step 28: Put the cuffs on the sleeves and bottom of the sweater.
Put the narrow cuffs at the end of the sleeves.The long cuffs should be seamed to the bottom of the sweater.When you're done, tie off the yarn and weave it in the ends.
