Comfy as a cloud, the Starling Skies Pullover is a fun crochet pullover sweater pattern that works up quicker than you can say “Shhh, I’m counting stitches”

This sweater is made up primarily of single crochet stitches and the “Half Double Crochet Cluster Across Two Stitches”. While this may sound intimidating to a beginner, it is actually just a Hdc2tog worked in a really neat way! The pattern will walk you through it!

This crochet pullover sweater is worked up in four pieces: The front and back, which are identical, and the sleeves (which should also be identical, less you end up like every television character ever who tried their hand at sewing for the first time).

Available to fit the following busts
30(34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 62)”
This sweater is designed to have a relaxed fit with 4″ positive ease. The Tweed Big! yarn is extremely soft and comfortable making this the perfect lazy day pullover.

Because the Tweed Big! yarn is so unique in weight, if you choose to use a different yarn I suggest working with 2 strands of worsted weight held together and adjusting the hook size if necessary or using bulky yarn and working one size smaller.
