Crochet Echoes Pullover

Notes:

This pullover is worked in separate panels. The Back and Front panels are worked bottom up. The sleeves are worked top down.

The starting Ch 3 counts as 1 St.

The starting Ch 4 counts as 1 St and 1 Ch Sp.

The Ch 3’s within the row do not count towards the St count.

I did not cut and join the yarn to achieve certain colors in different spots. I worked through an entire skein before joining in the next.

You can adjust the length of the pullover by adding or removing rows in multiples of 2 on the back panel. Add or remove the same amount of rows to the front panel before you begin the neckline shaping. Take into account this will alter your yardage requirement for your size.

The parenthesis at the beginning of the row are the row counts for all 9 sizes. The parenthesis at the end of the row are the stitch counts for all 9 sizes. The parenthesis within the row are the instructions for all 9 sizes.

Fasten off, leave a long tail to seam the side of your sleeve.

Note- This is an oversized drop-shoulder style pullover. The wider the front/back panels are, the shorter the sleeve needs to be because they join further down your bicep. That’s why the smaller sizes have more rows than the larger. You an easily adjust your sleeve length by adding or taking away as many rows as needed before beginning the “cuff”.

Assembly:

Block your panels to the measurements listed above. I recommend a steam block.

Place your front and back panels together RS facing.

Using your preferred seaming method attach the front panel to the back panel at the shoulders (I used a needle and did the mattress stitch across). Be sure your panels are aligned and that you aren’t bunching or skipping stitches.

Next, using the same joining process as above, we will be attaching the sleeves to the pullover. Make sure the center of the sleeve is aligned

with the shoulder seam. Be sure to check that your sleeves are even on both the front and back panel as you go. It is helpful to use SM’s here to keep your sleeve in place as you join.

Finally, fold your pullover so that the back and front panels are on top of each other, RS facing. Seam from the cuffs to the underarm and down the side of the pullover.

Neckline Trim:

With your pullover RS out, join yarn with a Sl St to the left of the side seam on the back panel.

Round 1: Ch 1, 1 Sc in each St across the back of the neckline, when you reach left shoulder of the front panel, work your Sc Sts evenly down the side, approximately 3 Sc with each row and 1 Sc into each of the 4 Sts left unworked in the next row, 1 Sc in each St across the unworked 7 Sts of the front panel, Sc evenly up the other side working 1 Sc into each of the 4 Sl Sts and aprroximatley 3 Sc on the end of each row below the sl sts. Sl St to the first Sc to join, fasten off. Exact St count is not crucial here. You are trying to “show off” the wavy effect of the neckline, not hide it.

Weave in any ends.
