Pullover for Girl / Boy (Any Size)
Hi,
I made this pullover for my grand daughter. I used 4 ply wool and 3.5 mm crochet hook. It's firnal measurements are,
Height 19", width 14", sleeves length from top point 18:.
This pattern is common, we can use for gorl or boy and if you have all measurements you can make pullover of any size.
As it is pullover type sweatre therefore we have to take measurement of head, say it is 20". Also measure required height and length of sleeve.
Not to start with make chains to measure total length 20" (equal to the measurement of head).
Taking care that chains are not twisted join first and last chs together and make a circle.
For this pullover I made initial chs by double thread and I got length 20" in 84 chs. Circle made by joining with first ch. Fig 2.
Pattern:
R1: (ch3 (call this as first dc), dc 1 in next 2 sts, [thus 3 dcs, skip 1 st, YO insert the hook in next ch, YO and get 2 long sts, repeat 2 more times, we get 6 long sts on the hook and one original st, thus 7 sts on hook, YO and pass through all of them. Ch 1 to fix them, one petal or puff made. Ch 2, make another petal in the same st, see fig 3, skip 1 st] repeat till end, join by sl st in third ch. Thhis (puff1, ch 2, puff 1) we call shell.
R2: ch 3, dc 2 in next st, dc 1 in next, [puff in ch 2-gap between two petals, ch 2, puff in same gap, (dc 1, dc 2, dc 1) on 3 dcs of previous round] repeat till end. Note that here, we made 4 dcs inplace of 3 dcs in between 2 designs of shells. Fig 4.
R3: ch3, dc2, dc 1, dc 1, (5dcs made in place of 4 dcs of previous round), [puff in ch 2-gap between two petals, ch 2, puff in same gap, (dc 1, dc 2, dc 1, dc1) on 4dcs of previous round] repeat till end.
R4: As in round 3, only make 6 dcs in place of 5 dcs of previous round in between 2 shells. Then 7 dcs in place of 6 and so on ......
Repeat this till the yoke height is 5". See fig 5. The height we reach after 9 rounds when there are 11 dcs in between two shells design.
Now place markers for pointing out sleeves sts. Place the yoke so that joint will be on back side.
Next round: ch 3, dc 1 on each st till marker ch 4, join by dc 1 on front side st, dc 1 again on each st till other marker of slleve, again make ch 4 and join by dc 1 on back side st and then dc 1 in each st till end, join by sl st. Fig 6.
Measure the width if it is more than 14 then decrease 1 st in each of the 11 dcs in between 2 shells. In my case this happened so I decrease 1 st by making 2dctog in the middle of every 11 dcs.
If you are OK with the width then don't reduce sts here.
Next round: ch 3, dc 1 in 9 sts, [shell on ch2- space, dc 1 in 10 sts] repeat till end.
Repeat this round till the length is 19", see fig 7.
Border: Make border of puff st at the lower bottom.
ch 3, get long sts 6 as above, YO pass through all sts, fix by ch1, ch 3, skip 2 sts, join by sl st.REpeat this till end. See fig 8.
Now join the yarn at underarm as shown in fig 9.
Go on working as per pattern only at under arms work dc 1 on each of the 4 sts newly added. See fig 10.
After every 1: decrease 2 sts on both sides of underarm centre.
See complete sleeve with border in fig 11.
The complete pullover as in fig 1 is ready.
If you think that neck is more than sufficient to pass the head then you may also add puff border on neck line also.
It looks so beautiful that I am so eager to see when my grand daughter wears it! Don't know when will be the next meeting 😔.
