The Up And Down Pullover

As a designer, I get most of my inspiration from my own closet. I tend to crochet what I want to wear. Sometimes when I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll make something new that I’ve never tried. Looking at my closet this winter, I realised that it was missing something- a cozy but flattering v-neck sweater! Something with extra long sleeves and an interesting, but subtle texture.
The Up And Down Pullover has it all. The body consists of a simple single crochet/double crochet stitch pattern that keeps you interested and gives a nicely muted texture. The design is easy to customize for length and fit. All of this combined with the v-neck and wide ribbing will give you a flattering sweater you’ll want to wear again and again.

See notes section for important comments about yarn substitutions.
Approximately 1200 (1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000) yds.
5.5mm Hook

Yarn Needle
Scissors
Measuring Tape

Yarn Substitutions: The yarn I used is listed as a #4 worsted, but it is very thin and light. Many of my testers had to use #3 dk to achieve gauge. If you are using a different yarn, it is very important to make a gauge swatch and check your measurements.

This pattern has been tested by a number of experienced crocheters and I have provided many pictures within the pattern to help you along the way. If you run into trouble you are free to message me for help.
