Hello, my treasured fiber friend! I have a delightful treat in store for you today! We have a NEW, gorgeous, crochet pullover pattern for you! Pebbled is a beautifully crocheted, top-down sweater that I know will be the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe. I hope you’ll read on to learn how you can crochet one for yourself.
Sati Glenn, the designer, said, “Say hello to rich texture with this top-down sweater. Pebbled is aptly named; the textured post stitches create the feel of tiny pebbles all over. With a raglan yoke and easily customizable 3/4 sleeves, this seamless beauty is worked in two colors of luxuriant Luster Sport, and it is sure to become your new favorite. Each round is worked in just one color, which creates a very interesting and unique stitch pattern. Once you get going, it’s a breeze, and the detailed written instructions will help you along the way. Go ahead, give it a go!”
Pebbled is an Intermediate to Advanced level pattern. It’s perfect for those crafters who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques, such as garment construction and shaping. There are some special stitches and techniques used in this pattern, including front post treble crochet and standing double crochet.
Pebbled uses our Luster Sport yarn, and the sample was crocheted using Neptune (MC) and Foreshadow (CC). The yarn has 361 m/395 yds per skein. This shimmery blend of 50% Superwash Merino Wool and 50% Lyocell will make this incredible sweater a wardrobe staple.
The sample is shown in size small and used 1,360 yards (1244 meters) total with 980 yards (897 meters) of the main color and 380 yards (348 meters) of the contrasting color.
Tim and I filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work the special stitches in this sweater. Have a look:
The 3/4 length sleeves make this a versatile sweater for any occasion. Layer it during the cooler months if you prefer. You can also make it shorter if you have a smaller torso. Since it’s top-down, just stop crocheting when you like the length.
I just love top-down sweater designs because you can try on your sweater as you go and make sure that it fits the entire time!

Hi, Chandi! I think the fisherman’s sweater (jumper) you were talking about is the Gansey (or Guernsey)…fisherman’s sweaater. From the look of some of the old pictures, the sleeves were tight to the body and were knitted in varying lengths. Here’s a URL from Heritage Crafts about the construction and history of the Gansey

The gansey has returned from near oblilvion in recent years (take a look at images for Ganseys on Google Images – my GOODNESS they’re gorgeous!!!!
Just thought I’d send thiis along….Happy New Year !!!!!
Thanks for sharing that link and all of the information!
Hi, I started this sweater, and I am not understanding where to add the treble crochets in the corners. When approaching a corner that has 3 double crochets, do you place a treble only in the middle one after you enter the needed additional double crochets, and ignore the other two? Or do you stitch something into to the other two? I will unravel and redo, but would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you, Tessie
Hi, Tessie. If you wouldn’t mind sending an email with your pattern question to [email protected], then Pam and our designers can help you figure this out. Thank you!
Just posting a big thank you to to you and Pam for her help in figuring out this pattern. I have now made two Pebbled sweaters, and both recipients loved them!
