1. Start by making a foundation chain that is the desired circumference of the pullover’s bottom edge, making sure it is a multiple of the stitch pattern repeat plus 2 extra chains for turning.
2. Row 1: In the third chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (dc). Work 1 dc in each chain across. Turn.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (counts as 1 half double crochet (hdc)), skip the first stitch, work 1 hdc in the next stitch, work 1 front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch. Repeat * to * across until the last stitch. Work 1 hdc in the last stitch. Turn.
4. Row 3: Chain 2 (counts as 1 hdc), skip the first stitch, work 1 front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next hdc, work 1 hdc in the next fpdc. Repeat * to * across until the last stitch. Work 1 hdc in the turning chain. Turn.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the pullover reaches the desired length, alternating between the textured stitch rows.
6. Sleeves: On the last row of the body, mark the stitches where you want the sleeves to start on each side of the pullover.
7. Join yarn at the first marked stitch and work in the same textured stitch pattern for the desired length of the sleeves. Fasten off.
8. Repeat the same process for the other sleeve.
9. Neckline: Starting at the front center of the pullover, join yarn and work in the same textured stitch pattern along the neckline. Fasten off.
10. Finishing: Sew the side seams of the pullover and the sleeves using a yarn needle and the mattress stitch or whip stitch. Weave in any loose ends.
