Beatty Pullover – Crochet Jumper Pattern for Women by Alea Ellison in Tahki Yarns Superwash Merino Worsted Twist

The Beatty Pullover is a women's crochet jumper pattern designed by Alea Ellison and published by Tahki Yarns. Rated Easy (advanced beginner level), this pattern produces a relaxed, generously sized pullover with a beautiful all-over lace texture. It is available in eight sizes — XS, S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, and 4X — making it a wonderfully inclusive design that suits a wide range of body types.

Finished Measurements and Fit

The Beatty Pullover is designed with a comfortable positive ease of 4–12 inches, giving it a relaxed, drapey silhouette. Finished bust measurements range from 40 inches (XS) up to 62¼ inches (4X), and finished lengths range from approximately 23½ inches to 32¾ inches depending on the size chosen. This generous ease makes it an ideal everyday layering piece.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a crocheted pullover sweater — a classic, wearable garment intended for women. The design features a lace stitch pattern worked throughout the body, giving the pullover an elegant, open texture that is airy without sacrificing warmth. The construction combines working in the round with seamed finishing, a technique that gives the garment structure and a polished, professional look.

Techniques Used

• Lace crochet: The body of the pullover is worked in a repeating lace pattern built from cluster stitches and chain spaces, creating an open, decorative fabric. Lace crochet relies on strategic placement of stitches and intentional gaps (chain spaces) to form a delicate, patterned mesh.
• Worked in the round: Sections of the garment are crocheted in the round, which eliminates the need to turn the work constantly and creates a seamless tube — ideal for sweater bodies and sleeves.
• Seamed construction: Garment pieces are joined using seaming techniques, which adds stability and shape to the finished pullover.
• Gauge swatch: The pattern specifies a precise gauge — 5 clusters and 10 rows = 4 inches in the Gauge Pattern — which is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions. Swatching before beginning is strongly recommended.

Stitches Used

• Double crochet (dc): A foundational stitch used throughout the construction of the lace pattern.
• Cluster stitch (cl): The primary decorative stitch in the Gauge Pattern. Clusters are typically formed by working multiple partially completed double crochets into the same stitch or space and joining them at the top, creating a gathered, textured unit.
• Chain stitch (ch): Used extensively to create the chain spaces (ch-1 and ch-2 spaces) that define the lace pattern and provide the open, airy quality of the fabric.
• Slip stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds when working in the round and to finish rows cleanly.
