Ursula Pullover crochet pattern

⚠️ WARNING: This is not a traditional pattern. There is no gauge. There is no yarn weight requirement. Bring your scraps and your sense of adventure.

The Ursula Pullover is a chunky, colourful, slouchy turtleneck pullover. It is designed to work up very quickly with heavy/bulky yarns and a large crochet hook (between 7mm to 9mm). Gather a basket of scraps left from your last winter crochet or knit project, grab a few crochet hooks, and let's get started. The Ursula Pullover is a top-down pullover. That means you will first work up the yoke, then separate for sleeves, before finishing the bodice.

Who is the crochet pattern for:

This crochet pattern is suitable even for advanced beginners who want to graduate past beanies and scarves, to tackle their first crochet garment. If you want to make a sweater with ribbing details but find it too daunting, this is an easy start!

If you are frightened by the typical crochet pattern with its daunting parentheses and abbreviations, this pattern is the kind aunt who holds your hands. The sizes are individually written up, so you don't have to print out and highlight the relevant parts/stitch counts.

What you need:

This pullover is designed to help you use up your yarn scraps. So the sizing methodology in this crochet pattern is rather unorthodox. The size you will need depends on the types of yarn you have and the hook size you want to work with.

Still, you will need at least this much yarn for your off-the-rack size:

XS/US 0-2/EUR30-32: 700g

S/US4-6/EUR34-36: 800g

M/US8-10/EUR38-40: 900g

L/US12-14/EUR42-44: 1000g

Additionally: Measuring tape, stitch markers, tapestry needle, scissors, and a colour wheel if mixing colours makes you nervous.

What this crochet pattern contains:

We all have different bodies and personalities, and if you are going to sit down and make your own clothes, then it better be exactly what you want, and not what the pattern says you should do. I show you ways to vary this pattern: the cuffs, the waistband, the slouch factor in the neckline, accommodating bigger busts, or even how to start without the ugly ch3 or foundation chain that is so popular in crochet patterns.

There are step-by-step guides for choosing your personal and adjustable sizing, the i-cord foundation chain, the single crochet through back loop ribbing effect, the weaver knot that helps us scrap-yarn-workers save more yarn.

Every one of the 4 sizes is its own "chapter". The pdf is 63 pages because it is formatted to be legible on your mobile phones without zooming in and panning. It is also available in an ebook (.epub) format.
