Crochet Sweater Patterns for Women, XS to 3XL: Knit-Look, Mohair & Chunky

"Crochet sweater pattern women", "plus size" and "that looks like knit" are among the first things people type after "crochet sweater pattern" on Etsy. All three point to the same wish: a sweater that fits a real body and does not look homemade. Every sweater pattern in the shop is sized XS to 3XL, with a size chart and a schematic for each size.

Knit-look: crochet that passes for knitting

Knit-look patterns use ribbing and slip-stitch textures so the fabric reads as knitwear. The Knit-Look V-Neck Sweater Vest (worsted wool or wool-acrylic, 5.0 mm hook) and the Balloon Sleeve Quiet Luxury Sweater (worsted merino, alpaca or cashmere, 5.0 mm hook) are the two to start with — both rated Easy.

Fast and cosy: chunky and mohair

• Chunky Drop Shoulder Sweater: super bulky yarn on a 9 mm hook — the quickest sweater in the shop, rated Easy.
• Fluffy Mohair Oversized Sweater: mohair held with fingering wool on a 6.5 mm hook — airy, light, warm.
• Chunky Hooded Cardigan Coat: a long coat with a hood and pockets on a 7.0 mm hook.

The fun sweaters of 2026

Novelty sweaters are back: crochet cherries on a cream jumper, colour-block stripes, a cropped hoodie. They are rated Easy or Beginner and worked in worsted (#4) yarn on a 5.0 mm hook, so they are a good first garment.

How to choose your size

Measure your bust and pick the size whose finished width gives you the ease you like: close-fitting, relaxed or oversized. Each PDF lists the bust each size fits, the finished width and the length, so you can compare with a sweater you already love before you start.
