Little Late Pullover
Some crochet jumper patterns are worked from the bottom up while others are worked from the top down. This pattern is worked sideways from cuff to cuff using mostly half double crochet stitches in the 3rd loop to create vertical ridges of texture throughout. It’s easier than it sounds and it also has the added benefit of making that adorable dolman style silhouette.

Shining Pearl Jumper
A thin fingering weight yarn keeps this pullover sweater from being too heavy and gives it lots of lovely drape too. Nobody wants a stiff sweater, so this is definitely a bonus! Front and back post double crochet stitches are used to create a subtle allover diamond pattern. I really like the color block accents along the cuffs and hem.

Shell Stitch Jumper
Some crocheters have really made sweater design into an art form. After all, handmade sweaters aren’t just about keeping warm, but also about showing off your crochet skills. For this design, working with different colors of yarn really brings out the beauty of the criss-crossed shell stitches for the perfect balance of sophistication and style.

Juniper Sweater
The dreamy creamsicle color of this sweater is giving me life. I love the drop sleeves, the wide neck, and all that luscious texture. The interesting surface of the design is made using an easy to remember two row repeat involving v-stitches as well as front and back post stitches. The #3 weight yarn is good for all seasons, especially the transitional ones like spring and fall.

Raise your hand if you love crochet jumper patterns that are long enough to wear with leggings! This lovely long sweater pattern calls for a single crochet ribbing worked in the back loops only and the lovely moss stitch for the body of the sweater.

Finnisterre Witer
Working with two different strands of yarn at once gives this striped sweater its cool marled color effect. It also just so happens to be a really great way to work through a good chunk of your yarn stash (so you can make room for more!). For this design, you’ll be using regular and extended single crochet stitches with some stitches worked into the back loops only.

A fabulous fitted pullover design is an excellent addition to both your professional and casual wear. Front and back post ribbed edges yield to a clean canvas of basic crochet stitches for the body of the sweater.

Lakeside Watercolor Sweater
Keep your oversize sweaters from becoming boxy by selecting yarn that has plenty of drape and movement. This design uses two different strands of thinner weights of yarn and the result is anything but stiff. The pattern calls for double and treble crochet stitches along with v-stitches. My favorite design element is the turned cuffs.

The Cloud Nine Cropped Sweater
Soft and fuzzy yarn makes this crochet sweater extra cozy and comfortable. It can be a little trickier to work with, though, as it makes your stitches difficult to see, so I don’t recommend this design for beginners. For this design, you’ll be using half double and double crochet stitches along with front and back post stitches.
