Textured Pullover Sweater Crochet Pattern

If you love cozy and modern crochet sweaters, the Textured Pullover Crochet Pattern is a must-make this season! This simple yet stylish pullover uses Swish Worsted from WeCrochet and a 5.0 mm hook to create a beautifully soft and warm piece. The unique texture is made using half double crochet (hdc) stitches, alternating between the back loop only (blo) and front loop only (flo) for a subtle, woven look that’s easy to master and fun to crochet.

About the Pattern

• Yarn: Swish Worsted from WeCrochet (100% superwash merino wool)
• Hook: 5.0 mm
• Construction: Cropped pullover with a V-neck and long, slouchy sleeves
• Stitch Pattern: HDC alternating BLO and FLO for a rich, textured fabric
• Skill Level: Easy / Advanced Beginner

The textured hdc stitch pattern adds depth and visual interest while keeping the design minimal and wearable. Whether you make it cropped as shown or add a few extra rows for a longer fit, this pullover is completely customizable to your style.

Construction Details

This crochet pullover pattern is worked in panels and then seamed together. The front features a gentle V-neck shaping, while the back is simple and straight. The sleeves are worked long and slightly oversized for a cozy, slouchy fit — perfect for pairing with high-waisted jeans or over a flowy dress.

Why You’ll Love This Crochet Sweater

• The V-neck pullover design is flattering and easy to wear.
• The BLO/FLO texture gives it a handmade but polished look.
• Made with Swish Worsted yarn, it’s soft, lightweight, and perfect for layering.
• Easily adjust the length or sleeve fit to make it your perfect everyday sweater.

Customization Ideas

• Make it longer: Add more rows to each panel before seaming.
• Add color: Try stripes or color blocking for a fun variation.
• Play with texture: The alternating hdc BLO/FLO stitch looks great in solid or tonal yarns.
• Go lightweight: For spring, use a cotton-blend yarn in DK weight for a breezier version.

Weave in other ends.

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.
