Dulcie Crochet Sweater by Amanda Perkins
What is Being Made
The Dulcie Crochet Sweater is an elegant, flattering pullover design created specifically to complement larger body sizes. This intermediate-level crochet project produces a finished sweater measuring 26 inches from shoulder to bottom hem. The pattern is available in two sizes: a smaller size fitting up to a 38-inch chest and a larger size accommodating up to a 42-inch chest.
Design and Yarn Characteristics
The original Dulcie sweater was crafted using an alpaca blend yarn, which creates a luxurious drape ideal for an elegant, flowing silhouette. Alternatively, the pattern can be made with wool yarn, which produces a cozier, more textured finished garment with different weight and feel. The designer notes that yarn choice significantly impacts the final aesthetic and wearability of the sweater.

Yardage requirements vary by size:
- Small/Medium size: 800 grams of DK weight yarn with a meterage of 240–260 metres per 100 grams
- Large size: 900 grams of DK weight yarn with a meterage of 240–260 metres per 100 grams
The pattern is flexible regarding yarn selection, provided the substitute yarn matches the specified meterage. Recommended yarns include Sublime Superfine Alpaca DK, Rowan Alpaca Merino DK, Fyberspates Vivacious DK, Fyberspates Scrumptious DK, and John Arbon Textiles options.
Tools and Equipment
