I’m the only girl in my house (unless you count our dog!), so I crochet a lot for my guys. The Dude Pullover started as a companion to my Dude Cardigan. It uses the same textured stitch combo, but in a classic crewneck pullover the guys actually want to wear. I sized it for kids and adults so my boys and their dad could have matching sweaters. Now that the Dudette Sweater is out, the whole family can match!
Crochet Pullover Sweater Details:
The Dude Pullover Sweater pattern is a crochet sweater worked from the top down, with a raglan style yoke. You will work each round and join the ends with a slip stitch. As you work and add length to your yoke, you will eventually skip a certain amount of stitches to create the armholes.
Once the body of the sweater is complete, sleeves and trim are then crocheted onto the body of the sweater directly.
The Yarn
For the most recent Men’s Dude Pullover Sweater, I used WeCrochet Brava Tweed (#4) Worsted Weight Yarn. I used the colorway Wasabi.
The Brava line of worsted weight yarn is one of my favorites. It’s 100% premium acrylic yarn and can be machine washed and dried. It holds up nicely in the wash and has many color choices.
With your purchase you will receive 2 PDF downloads. One is the Kid’s Sizes and the other is the Men’s Sizes. The Men’s sizes have been updated (November 2026) and now include Men’s Small through 5X.
Easy to Customize
The pattern has plenty of notes on adjusting the length and width so the sweater fits whoever you’re making it for. Top-down construction lets you try it on as you go. For more help, see how to adjust crochet garment pattern size.
