Some people like to start daydreaming about spring this time of year, but winter is far from over. You still have plenty of time to pick the perfect crochet pullover pattern and whip up a cozy sweater for yourself. If you’ve never worn a handmade sweater before, then don’t you think it’s time to treat yourself?
I’m one of those people that could wear a sweater year round, but if you are worried about getting too warm as the weather starts to heat up, then be sure to pick a lightweight crochet pullover pattern from this curated list. We have plenty of designs to choose from ranging from extra cozy to breezy and breathable.
Are you ready to choose the best crochet pullover pattern? Scroll down and prepare to be inspired by these amazing designs!
1. The Stony Shore Pullover
This sweater pattern is worked in back and forth rows. You’ll crochet each component of the sweater separately (front, back, sleeves) and then join them together. Bead stitches add tons of texture and interest.

2. Rocky Mountain Colorblock Pullover
This crochet pullover pattern calls for 7-10 skeins of yarn. I certainly don’t have enough of any one color of yarn in my stash, but being able to use 3 colors will certainly save me a trip to the yarn store. The design is crocheted from the top down in the round.

4. Weekend Snuggle Sweater
Sometimes crochet sweaters can look a bit stiff and bulky. This design has beautiful movement and drape thanks to the stitch pattern of single crochet columns. Despite the chain stitches, the fabric is nearly solid so it’s still nice and cozy.

8. Rochester Pullover
This design is worked flat in extended single crochet mesh stitch. When I think “mesh” I think of lace, but this sweater is nearly solid. The extra bit of space between the stitches help contribute beautiful drape and movement to the fabric.

9. Sunset Sweater
Usually, you can classify a crochet pullover pattern by whether it is made from the top down or from the bottom up. This unique design is crocheted instead from cuff to cuff using single and half double crochet stitches. A pretty self striping yarn adds sunset vibes.

10. Mt Rainier Tweed Sweater
Sweaters crocheted in the round can present an issue when it comes to the seam. Sometimes the seam is more noticeable than you would like or sometimes it can even start to slant. This design solves that issue by calling for continuous half double crochet rounds.
