Description

Meet your go-to “romantic meets casual” pullover for Valentine’s Day, International Women’s Day—and any day. This seamless top-down raglan is built from a comfy ribbed neck, then worked in the round so the body and sleeves are one piece (no armhole seaming). Finish with easy crocheted roses you stitch on at the end.

You’ll make

A stretchy neck rib in back-loop single crochet (worked flat and joined)

A top-down raglan yoke with clear section markers (sample split for 92 sts: 18 sleeve / 28 front / 18 sleeve / 28 back)

A straight body in the round + attached hem rib (no sewing)

Two sleeves worked down from the yoke with tidy underarm closers and attached cuff ribs

Three sizes of roses (small/medium/large) and placement tips

What’s inside

Step-by-step written instructions in full U.S. terms (no abbreviations to learn)

Raglan increase logic: increase round (3 double crochets in the marked stitch) → plain round → repeat

Try-on checkpoints (yoke depth ~22 cm from neck edge; underarm join; sleeve length)

Hem & cuff: attached back-loop rib so edges stay neat and stretchy

Roses: three quick patterns (chain 31 / 21 / 16 starts), rolling and sewing, secure knotting, and placement around neckline/sleeve caps

Fit tweaks: change neck rib rows for wider/narrower neck; keep front/back equal and sleeves equal; DK/aran option for a faster, plumper look

Skill level
Intermediate (adventurous beginners welcome): chain, slip stitch, single crochet (back loop), double crochet, working in the round, simple decreases (two together), seaming short rib edges.

Sizing & Fit
Top-down = try on as you go. Sample neck rib ~66 cm around (92 rows; ~2.5 cm tall). Yoke width between raglan lines ~46–47 cm; adjust by continuing the increase/plain rhythm until it fits comfortably under the arms. Sleeve and body lengths are maker-choice.

Materials

Yarn: ~8 balls light-worsted (≈50 g / ≈100 m each). Use DK/aran for a quicker make. Main color + rose color (same or contrast).

Hooks: 3.5 mm (neck rib), 5 mm (body & sleeves), 3 mm (roses, optional)

4+ stitch markers (raglan lines), scissors, measuring tape, yarn needle
