homespun yarn! Meee! I know a lot
of my crochet friends dislike using
Search for... 
homespun yarn because it can be a
bit difficult to work with, especially if
you are a beginner crocheter. I hope
the Butterbeer Pullover pattern Instagram
changes your mind if you are a
homespun hater. You can always
substitute a different bulky yarn if evelynandpeter

you are totally against it, but I

encourage you to give it a shot with
homespun first!
Here are a couple of my tips on
working with Lion Brand Homespun-
Keep your tension a bit loose! I Load More...

know a lot of us have a habit of Follow on

pulling our stitches down tight Instagram

while crocheting. Don’t do this!

One, it makes it harder to see
the stitches and two, if you have
to frog your work it will be
difficult to pull out. You will also
have a much harder time
inserting your hook into the
stitch and it may snag the yarn.
So try and crochet with a nice
even and “loose” tension.
Don’t rely on just your eyes for
counting stitches. When you
work with homespun yarn, the
fluffiness of the yarn can make
it difficult to see your stitches. I
like to actually feel my stitches
with my hands to help check my
stitch count.
Start your work with a
foundation row! My pullover
pattern uses a foundation row
for each panel. This not only
gives your garment a bit more
stretch and keeps the panel a
uniform size but it also helps
you keep your stitch count
correct. When working with
homespun I always find that the
foundation chain and the first
row gives the most trouble. It
can be difficult to find where to
insert your hook in the chain. If
you use a foundation row it gets
rid of this problem. I
recommend THIS video/tutorial
if you don’t already know how.
Be sure to tag me in your pictures on
Instagram if you make the
Butterbeer Pullover! I love seeing
and sharing your work! Make

Materials:
Bulky (5) weight yarn. Pattern
uses Lion Brand Homespun
yarn. Yards needed-
740(760,780,800,820)
6.00mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle

Notes:
Pattern is written as follows
XS(S,M,L,XL)
This pattern is worked in
separate panels and sewn
together at the end.
Each panel begins with a row of
foundation half double crochet. I
highly recommend following this
process instead of making a Ch
and then working your row of
Hdc. This video explains how to
make a foundation row. Using a
foundation row will give your
pullover more stretch and will
be easier to follow your stitch
count using homespun yarn.
You will need to sew your panels
together to complete your
pullover. I like to use my hook
and Sl St the pieces together,
working through the outer loops
only. However, you can also use
a yarn needle and your stitch of
choice to join panels.

Do not tie off, you will not create a
single crochet border around the
pocket. Single crochet evenly down
the side of the pocket (about 2
stitches per row), when you reach the
bottom corner, work 2 single crochet
into same stitch. Rotate your work
and continue along the bottom of the
pocket with 1 Sc in each of the
foundation stitches. When you reach
the next corner, work 2 single
crochet into the same stitch. Rotate
your work, single crochet evenly up
the side of the pocket (about 2
stitches per row, keep your stitch
count the same as the first side.)
When you reach the top corner,
work 2 single crochet into the same
stitch. Rotate your work, finish with 1
Sc into each stitch across the top of
the pocket. Work your last Sc into the
same space as your first Sc made.
Join with a Sl St to the first St. Tie off,
leaving a long tail for sewing your
pocket to your sweater.

Join Your Panels (view

pictures below):
Take your back panel and front
panel, place them together with
correct sides facing. Be sure the
outer edges of your panels are
aligned. Using the length of tail you
left at the shoulder area, sew along
top of shoulder area together using
method of choice. I like to use my
crochet hook and Sl St both pieces
together. However, you can also use
your yarn needle and stitch of
choice. Repeat on opposite shoulder
area.
Next, Lay your 2 seamed panels out
flat, with correct sides facing down.
You will now be sewing your first
sleeve panel to one side. Place your
sleeve correct side down up against
the side of your main panels. The
shoulder seam of the main panel
should be in the middle of the sleeve
panel and even on both sides. With
the tail on your sleeve, sew or Sl St
the sleeve panel to the main panels.
Repeat on other side.

Next, fold your sweater in half at the

working your way to the wrist cuff.
Tie off and repeat on other side.

days a month.

Do not tie off. You will be seaming

the top of your hood shut. Flatten
your hood, so that your last row is
aligned evenly together. Working
through the outer loops only, Sl St
the last row together. For example,
stitches 1 and 46 will be stitched
together, stitches 2 and 45 will be
stitched together, continue like this
until you reach the back point of the
hood. Tie off. With your sweater and
your hood inside out, line your
finished hood up evenly with the
back of the neckline on the sweater.
Your middle stitch of the foundation
row should be lined up with the
middle stitch of the back panel of the
sweater. Using a yarn needle, sew the
hood to the sweater OR use your
hook and length of tail to Sl St the
hood to the sweater. Work through
the outer loops only like you did at
the top of the hood. Turn your work
correct side out. Tie off.

Sew On Pocket (view picture

below):
Place your pocket in the center of
your front panel. The foundation row
should be just above your bottom
waist trim. Using a yarn needle, sew
the top, bottom, and half way up the
sides of your pocket to the panel. Do
NOT sew the sides of the decrease
rows of the pocket. These are your
pocket openings. Weave in all ends.
