Hey! Remember the Alix Bag? It came out last month? Lots of fun colors and texture? Ok, well, I hope you remember it because this week’s design is what inspired that bag – say hello to the Alix Pullover crochet pattern!
Ok, so I want to address the elephant – garments take a lot of time to make, write up, and test. I wanted to have this done sooner but I needed to give my testers enough time to work on it so that I knew that you’d get a good product. But luckily that wait is now over and we can all enjoy the Alix Pullover and I’m so glad. I had so much fun working this design up that I couldn’t wait to release it. I’ve been showing it off for months on my IG.
Also, next up, I wanted to talk about the #NoShadesofGrey campaign that I was asked to participate in for Hobbii. They sent me the yarn and commissioned this pattern and I had a blast making this design. If you followed along on Instagram you got to see it develop. It’s another wonderful pattern in my year of “texture and color fun” and I hope you like it.
Thank you for visiting and following along with my crochet journey.
I hope where ever you are you’re having a great time and being safe and healthy. Hugs friends. Wash your hands and masks.
Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Hobbii for the purposes of designing the Alix Pullover crochet pattern, with compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I did enjoy using this yarn. It was the first time using Twister but it won’t be the last.

Gauge
- 15 hdc x 12 rows = 4” (blocked)
Terms/ Stitches used

- Sc2tog: sc 2 sts together
- BTLO: back third loop only (explained below)
- Hdc: half double crochet
- Hdc2tog: hdc 2 sts together
Notes
- BTLO: (back third loop only): when looking at the stitch you will have the 2 loops on top of the hdc (the V on top), lean the stitch towards you and will see the third loop that runs along the back of the stitch. This is the loop you will work into. This stitch is also known as the Camel Stitch. Please note that when you work this stitch you will be looking at the back of the previous row’s hdc, so the third loop will be facing you.
- This pattern is worked 4 sections: the Front/Back Pieces, the Sleeves, the Neck, and the Waistband. The Front/Back pieces are worked back and forth, with a turn at the beginning/ end of the row. The Sleeves, Neck, and Waistband are worked in the round with a slip st into the first st to join the rnds.
- The ch 1 at the beginning of some rows/rnds does not count as a stitch.
- Blocking is recommended for this pattern.
- To allow for the striping to match the photos, the XS/SM/MD/LG are all 21” in height and 1X/2X/3X/4X/5X are 27.5” in height. Feel free to add or subtract rows to make your Front/Back Pieces shorter or longer and adjust the striping. Just make sure your Sleeve holes are the same size as listed in the pattern.The sample in the photos is the medium size. This pattern was made with Twister Solid by Hobbii; color A is purple (Light Purple), color B is blue (Iceberg), color C is green (Mint), color D is yellow (Corn), color E is pink (Light Pink).

Note:
-Begin the Sleeves with the RS facing you.
-Leave a tail long enough to sew closed any gaps in the armpit area when you create your slipknot.
Rnd 1: Create a slipknot on your hook with color C (this will make your first st a standing hdc), hdc into the first row end to the left of your seam, hdc into the next 1 (1, 5, 5, 5)(5, 5, 5, 7) row ends, hdc twice into the next row end, *hdc into the next 3 (3, 2, 2, 2)(2, 2, 2, 2) row ends, hdc twice into the next row end,* repeat from * to * 8 (8, 10, 10, 12)(12, 14, 14, 14) more times, hdc into the last 3 (3, 4, 4, 4)(4, 4, 4, 6) row ends, join — 52 (52, 56, 56, 64)(64, 72, 72, 76) hdc

If you’d like a tighter or looser fit, feel free to decrease more or less than indicated here. The following rnds will just tell you the color changes. You don’t need to fasten off color C, you can drop it and pick it up as needed (if you’d like) but the instructions will not tell you to fasten off with color C until the end of the Sleeve.
| Rnds 21 – 22: E Fasten off color E and switch to color C. Rnds 23 – 24: C Rnds 25 – 26: D Fasten off color D and switch to color C. Rnds 27 – 28: C | Rnds 29 – 30: B Fasten off color B and switch to color C. Rnds 31 – 32: C Rnds 33 – 34: A Fasten off color A and switch to color C. Rnd 35: C |

I don't quite know what you mean by "Pin it" other than Pinterest but you can Pin it here And if your copied version doesn't work out, you can buy the pdf on Ravelry for an easy to print and view option. I'm glad you like the pattern.
