Intertwine Pullover

Intertwine Pullover Crochet Pattern by Yay For Yarn

What is Being Made

The Intertwine Pullover is a women's crocheted sweater designed by Yay For Yarn. This garment features a classic pullover silhouette with a comfortable fit, offering nine size options ranging from X-Small through 5X to accommodate a wide range of body types. The sweater is designed to fit bust measurements from 30 inches (76 cm) to 62 inches (157.5 cm), with finished bust measurements between 32 inches (81 cm) and 64 inches (162.5 cm). The pattern includes approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of positive ease, meaning the finished garment will be slightly larger than the wearer's actual measurements for comfortable movement and a relaxed fit.

This intermediate-level crochet project employs fundamental sweater construction techniques suitable for crafters with some experience. The pattern follows the Craft Yarn Council's established standards for women's sizing, ensuring consistency and reliability.
