There’s nothing better than a handmade sweater to keep you warm and stylish through the seasons — and the Textured Pullover Crochet Pattern is the perfect blend of comfort and modern design. This crochet pattern features rich texture, a relaxed fit, and timeless details that make it a wardrobe staple you’ll reach for again and again. Whether you’re cozying up at home or heading out for a crisp morning stroll, this pullover is the kind of handmade piece that feels just as good as it looks. With easy-to-follow instructions and customizable sizing, this pattern is perfect for both adventurous beginners and seasoned crocheters.
The Textured Stitch
This textured stitch uses just basic stitches to create a subtle, “waffle” like fabric. By alternating half double crochet (hdc) in the front loop (flo) and back (blo) it makes this grid like texture that is so beautiful for sweaters, scarves, and hats. This stitch would be especially beautiful for a chunky throw blanket. This stitch can also be found on My Favorite Tee Crochet Pattern and Oversized Textured Scarf Crochet Pattern.
Choosing Your Yarn
For this sweater I used Swish Worsted from WeCrochet. This yarn is a superwash merino wool that is perfect far garments. It’s a soft luxurious yarn that is also machine washable. Can’t beat that! Of course, any worsted weight (4) acrylic or wool blend yarn will work great for this sweater.

SEWING
Lay the front panel on top of the back. Wrong side out. (there isn’t really a right and wrong side, just whichever you like best)
Use the long ends to sew the shoulders closed with a whip stitch. (use stitch markers to line it up)
Use the long ends to sew the sides closed with a whip stitch (use stitch markers to line it up) Leave a (6, 6.5, 7) (7.5, 8, 8.5) (or your desired armhole size) space at the top for armholes.
Weave in all the ends.
Turn right side out.
SLEEVES
Join yarn to the bottom of an armhole.
You’ll be working evenly around the armhole, working into the side of the stitches. I alternated 1 sc in 1 hdc, then 2 sc in the next hdc.
Round 1: ch 1, sc evenly around the armhole (ending with an even number of stitches), join to first stitch with sl st
Round 2: ch 2, turn, hdc blo in first stitch, hdc flo in next, *hdc blo in next, hdc flo in next* repeat from * to * around, join to first hdc with sl st
Repeat round 2 to Round 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52 (or until desired sleeve length)
Fasten off. Weave in the ends.
Repeat for other sleeve.
