The Design—Crochet Sweater Pattern

If a refined crochet texture is what you're looking for, look no further. The Obelisk Pullover features a unique striped knit-like ribbing texture throughout and classic knit-like 1x1 ribbing to complete the design for a truly classic and luxurious heirloom sweater to add to your cold-weather wardrobe—one you'll reach for for years to come!


The sweater is constructed bottom-up by making two panels—a front and back panel, then seaming them together at the shoulders and sides. Then, adding the collar, bottom hem ribbing, sleeves, and cuffs.

Fit + Sizing

The Obelisk Pullover has a slightly oversize classic fit with a slight crop. It features bands of texture throughout, straight sleeves for sizes XS-M and slightly tapered sleeves for sizes L-3XL, and 1x1 knit-like ribbing along the bottom hem, cuffs, and fold-over collar. Sizing is based on Craft Yarn Council's standards.


It is designed to have a positive ease of 8.5-11.5". To select your size, measure your bust and find the garment circumference in the chart that matches approximately 8.5-11.5" larger. If you prefer to have more or less ease, select the garment circumference that reflects that number in inches compared to your measured bust in inches. I have a 34" bust and am wearing a size small for 9" of ease.

Skill Level

advanced | I consider this pattern advanced due to the variety of techniques and stitches involved, ribbing stitches, fold-over collar, and multidirectional construction.


Materials

As written, you'll need category 4 worsted/light worsted weight yarn in the amounts of:

  • 1381(1587, 1754, 1905, 2076, 2333, 2520)yds


Other materials you'll need:

  • 4.5mm and 5mm crochet hook

  • tapestry needle

  • scissors

  • st markers (optional)


Gauge

15.2 sts x 12.4 rows = 4" square (blocked)


Yarn Substitutions

The yarn I used is WeCrochet Felici Worsted undyed. This yarn has since been discontinued, but many worsted weight yarns should work for this pattern. I'd recommend staying away from economy acrylic yarns like Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and Red Heart Super Saver. They will be much too dense and thick for this project. You can also check out Yarn Sub. Make sure you make a gauge swatch. Small differences in gauge can lead to big differences in project outcome. For more on gauge, you can read this blog.

Super excited about trying a wearable for myself finally and this one looks SO lush! ... However I'm not a fan of wearing wool or wool blends. Would you consider this suitable to make with a cotton yarn instead? If so, any additional suggestions I might need to consider? Thanks!!

Hello Jemma! Thank you so much! Subbing cotton for wool can often be tricky. You could give it a try, but it likely won't have the exact same result. If you go the cotton route, select something as soft and lofty as you can for a cotton. Maybe a pima or bamboo/cotton blend?
