The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater is a crochet pattern for you to view for free below. It is made to measure, size inclusive and designed and written specifically for beginners.
We have always loved crocheting warm winter sweaters with this yarn from Lion Brand Yarn. It has a beautiful glossy sheen to it, moves easily on and off your crochet hook and most importantly is comfortable when worn. The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater was designed around this gorgeous yarn (sometimes it’s the other way round).
We have used it in some of our favourite sweater patterns such as The Lola Easy Oversized Crochet Pullover and the Wide Shoulder Boatneck Crochet Sweater. We have about 2 more WIPs (work in progress) coming down the design pipeline and thought we had pretty much seen all the colours.
So it was a surprise to see this beautiful grey version with bright red, blue, yellow and green flecks throughout. It is officially called a “Tweed”. We typically associate tweed with brown flecks on a cream coloured base, or black yarn with cream flecks. What we love about this “tweed” is that the bright colours are so unexpected, however the overall look is still a basic neutral. We see they have a darker black version of this too which would also look stunning.

We wanted to ensure there was sufficient drape on the Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater. It’s a weight 4, medium worsted yarn. Sometimes we find if the stitch is too solid, and the yarn is a little thicker AND the design is oversized, it can create a garment that is a little boxy and a bit too heavy. So we added one of our favourite stitches – the puff!
In previous patterns, we have used the puff stitch, mostly in some of our summer tops with weight 1 or weight 2 yarn. It’s one of our favourite stitches visually, but also to crochet. We have never tried it with a thicker type yarn and we must say, we do love the end result! The puff stitch gave some lightness to the Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater without taking away coziness. We aded some basic stitch rows to give it some structure to retain the warmth!

DESCRIPTION of The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater
The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater is a long sleeved sweater that is created primarily from two stitch patterns – the puff stitch and half double crochet. The neckline is a gentle V neck that is customizable. The sweater has ribbing at the base and ribbed cuffs on the sleeves. It’s designed to be oversized and hit below your hips, however it can also be customized easily as a crop or at the waist.
The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater is a free and easy crochet pattern available as a size inclusive made to measure pattern. It is beginner friendly and uses weight 4/worsted yarn, however as this is a made to measure pattern, your gauge is flexible.
CROCHET MEASUREMENTS & SIZES
The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater pattern instructions are made to measure, based on your desired measurements.
Kiks + Jack Crochet will always try to write patterns that are “made to measure” (versus graded sized patterns ie. XS, S, M etc) so that crocheters can get the wonderful benefits of making a garment that fits perfectly with flexibility on the gauge used. However we do appreciate taking measurements can be inconvenient for some and have also provided standard measurements for those who wish to use it.
To use the Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater pattern you will need the following measurements and you should write them down for easy reference:
Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust. Do not draw the tape too tightly.
Finished length: Measure from top of your shoulder towards your waistline and stop where you would like this crochet top to end. We designed ours to hit slightly above the hips.
Length to armpit: Measure from where you would like the top to end up to bottom of your armpit
Arm Length: Measure from armpit to just above your elbow (or where you would like the sleeve to end)
Armhole Depth: Measure from the top outside edge of the shoulder down to the armpit
Upper Arm: Measure around the widest section of the upper arm located above the elbow
Wrist Circumference: Measure from one point on your wrist all around your wrist.
If you would like to use standard sizing for the chest/bust – then for XS (S, M , L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) use approximately 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62) inches or 71-76 (81-86, 91-96, 102-107, 112-117, 122-127, 132-137, 142-147, 152-158) centimetres.

Measuring Tape. We use a super budget friendly measuring tape. Make sure it has cm and inches (not all patterns are written with both). We are always crocheting on the go so we like our tapes small and compact and we put one in our design area, one in our bag and one in our car. Retractable works best! We use these super cheap mini measuring tapes from Amazon.
Stitch Markers. We use these locking crochet stitch markers from Amazon and these stitch markers that do not lock. They are cheap and colourful.
Blocking Pins. You should buy more pins than you think you need. If you are going to take the time to block don’t skimp on the pins. We like T shaped stainless steel pins that don’t rust when they get wet. We love these blocking T pins from Amazon and the tin means the pins don’t fall out on the floor.
Yarn Needle. Buy blunt needles with large eyes for yarn. We use these Yarn Needles because we like the convenient bottle, they are budget friendly and we get lots of them!
Scissors. We love these thread snippers because they are cheap, we get two of them AND they come with a case (some don’t). Don’t carry these without the case! After you use thread snippers you won’t want to snip with scissors.

SUMMARY of CONSTRUCTION for The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater
The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater is made by first crocheting a front panel and a back panel. You will crochet the panels bottom up. You will start by crocheting a wide ribbing at the base of your sweater followed by the rest of the front and back panel. On the front panel you will crochet a gentle V neckline.
You will then crochet two separate sleeve panels starting with a ribbed cuff. There will be some shaping on the sleeves depending on your arm measurements. You will then seam the front panel and the back panels at the shoulder and then seam sleeves directly on to the panels. After seaming you will crochet a simple ribbing around the neckline to complete The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater.

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS for The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater
Crochet the Ribbing on the Front Panel
ch 12
The height of Kiks + Jack Crochet ribbing is approximately 2.5 inches. Based on our gauge this is 12 chains. If your gauge is different to ours, the height of your ribbing may be slightly different. Alternatively you could increase or reduce the number of chains to achieve the desired height.
Row 1: hdc in 3rd ch from hook, hdc in each ch across until end. Turn
Row 2: ch2, hdc BLO in each st across. On the last st, hdc into the whole st. Turn
Repeat row 2 until the total length of the ribbing is equal to HALF of your “Chest/Bust Measurement” + 1-3 inches. Add more inches if you want it very oversized (For reference, Kiks + Jack Crochet added 2 inches).
Kiks + Jack Crochet example: Our chest/bust measurement = 32 inches around. Half of 32 inches = 16 inches. We keep repeating row 2 until the total length of the ribbing reaches 18 inches (16+2 inches). Note it may expand slightly more after crocheting a few rows and we will check it.
Count the total number of rows.
Kiks + Jack Crochet example: We counted a total of 42 rows to achieve a length of 18 inches.
It’s a great time to do an intuitive check to see if you are completely happy with the width of the top. Before you crochet any further, place the ribbing up against you to see if the width (length of ribbing) is right for you. Note that your top will expand from the ribbing slightly. If you would like it to be wider, crochet a few more rows. If you would like the ribbing to be tighter, then you can frog (unravel) a few rows.
Do not fasten off.
Crochet the Main Front Panel
You will now crochet down the long side of the ribbing that you just crocheted.
To calculate the number of stitches that you will crochet down the long side of the ribbing, calculate as follows:
| Calculation | Kiks + Jack Crochet Example |
| Count the number of rows in your ribbing | We have 42 rows in our ribbing (to achieve 16 inches) |
| Multiply this by 1.2 (round) | 42 X 1.2 = 50 stitches (rounded) |
| This number needs to be a multiple of 4. If is it not, round up or round down to the nearest 4. | We round up to 52 stitches to achieve a multiple of 4 |
| Divide this number by 4 and it should be an odd number. If it is not, then add 4. Otherwise leave as is. | 52/4 = 13 (an odd number) So we leave it as is. |
Row 1: Using the working yarn, ch1, sc into the first st, sc across the ribbing the number of stitches you calculated above in total. Turn
In Kiks + Jack Crochet example above we will crochet 52 single crochets across the long side ribbing. You may want to place stitch markers at the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 way mark down your ribbing, to help ensure you crochet evenly.
Row 2: ch2, hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row until the last st. Turn
Row 3: ch3, dc in 1st st, 1dc in next 2 st, *ch1, sk st, 1dc in next 3 st, rep from * across row, dc in last st. Turn
We will crochet the puff stitch in the next row. Here is a reminder of the puff stitch:
A. Yarn over and insert hook into desired stitch. Yarn over and pull through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops. You now have 2 loops on your hook. B. Yarn over and insert hook back into same desired stitch. Yarn over and pull through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops. You now have 3 loops on your hook. C. Yarn over and insert hook back into same desired stitch. Yarn over and pull through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops. You now have 4 loops on your hook. D. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on the hook
Tip: For the row below you are effectively crocheting a [puff st, ch4, puff st] cluster in the middle of each “3dc group” across the row.
Row 4: ch3, sk 2 st and in the 3rd st, [puff st, ch4, puff st], *[puff st, ch4, puff st] in the 2nd dc of each “3dc group/cluster” below, rep from * across the row and end with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 5: ch3, *3dc in next ch-4 sp, ch1, rep from * across the row and end with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 6: ch2, hdc across the row the same number of stitches as your initial foundation chain. Turn.
In Kiks + Jack Crochet’s version this would be 52 hdcs. We achieved this by crocheting 1hdc in 1st st, 3hdc per cluster, 1hdc between the clusters, ending on the last st in the cluster. The important thing is to crochet the same number of hdcs as your initial foundation chain.
Row 7-8: ch2, hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row. Turn
Repeat Rows 3-8 in that order until the length of the front panel including the ribbing reaches approximately the “Length to armpit measurement“.
Make sure you end on a row 3 or a row 5.
Do not fasten off.
Crocheting the V Neck on the Front Panel
You will now start crocheting the V neck on the front panel. Note the stitch pattern changes from here and uses the puff stitch only.
Count the number of 3dc clusters across the entire row. It should be an odd number.
Find the centre cluster. Place a stitch marker (SM) in the 2nd dc of this cluster.
Kiks + Jack Crochet has 13 x 3dc clusters across the row. We count to the 7th cluster ie the centre cluster. We place a stitch marker (SM) in the 2nd dc of this 7th cluster.
Take your working yarn and continue crocheting the following from the side of your top towards the centre stitch marker:
Row 1: ch3, sk 2 st and in the 3rd st, [puff st, ch4, puff st], *in the 2nd dc of each “3dc cluster” below [puff st, ch4, puff st], rep from * across the row towards the centre SM. When you reach the stitch with the SM, 1puff st into the st with SM (do not crochet the full puff cluster). Turn
Row 2: ch3, 3dc in next ch-4 sp, *ch1, 3dc in next ch-4 sp, rep from * across the row (away from the centre) and end with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 3: ch3, sk 2 st and in the 3rd st, [puff st, ch4, puff st], *in the 2nd dc of each “3dc cluster” below [puff st, ch4, puff st], rep from * across the row towards the centre. When you reach the last 3dc cluster, 1puff st into the 2nd dc (do not crochet the full puff cluster), 1dc in top of tch. Turn
Repeat rows 2 – 3 until your top including the ribbing reaches the “Finished Length measurement“.
Fasten off.
You have now finished the V neck on one side and we will now crochet the V neck on the other side.
Attach yarn in the centre stitch marker and crochet as follows:
Row 1: ch3, 1puff st in same st (as SM), *[puff st, ch4, puff st] in the 2nd dc of the next “3dc cluster” below, rep from * across the row (towards the end), ending with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 2: ch3, 3dc in next ch-4 sp, *ch1, 3dc in next ch-4 sp, rep from * across the row (towards the centre) and end with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 3: ch3, 1puff st in 2nd dc of the next 3dc cluster, *[puff st, ch4, puff st], in the 2nd dc of the next “3dc cluster” below , rep from * across the row (towards the end), ending with a dc at the top of tch. Turn
Repeat rows 2 – 3 until your top including the ribbing reaches the “Finished Length measurement“. Don’t worry if your V neck isn’t super straight we will be crocheting a ribbing around it.
Fasten off.
Crochet the Back Panel
The back panel is a rectangular panel and does not have the V neck.
Repeat all the instructions from “Crochet the Ribbing on the Front Panel”
Repeat all the instructions from “Crochet the Main Front Panel” – except you will repeat Rows 3-10 until your top including the ribbing reaches the “Finished Length measurement“.
Kiks + Jack Crochet likes to double check the length of the back panel is correct, by placing it on top of the Front Panel and making sure both are the same length.
Fasten off.
Crochet the Sleeve Panel (Make 2)
We will now crochet the two sleeve panels starting with the cuff. Remember you will need to make two identical sleeve panels.
Crochet the Sleeve Panel Ribbed Cuff
ch 12
You should follow the number of chains you used in your front and back panel if it is different to ours.
Row 1: 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook, hdc in each ch across. Turn.
Row 2: ch2, hdc BLO in each st across, hdc in entire st on the last st. Turn.
Repeat row 2 until the ribbed cuff is equal to your “Wrist Circumference Measurement” + 2 inches. Make sure it fits comfortably and is not too tight.
Count the number of rows (Kiks + Jack Crochet crocheted 20 rows).
Do not fasten off. Turn your ribbing. You will now crochet down the long side of the ribbing.
Crochet the Main Sleeve Panel
Note the stitch pattern in the sleeve panel is different to the main panels to accommodate the increasing row.
To calculate the number of stitches across the ribbing, calculate as follows:
| Calculation | Kiks + Jack Crochet’s Example |
| Count the number of rows in the sleeve cuff | We counted 20 rows in our cuff |
| Multiply by 1.5 | 20 x 1.5 = 30 |
| Adjust the number upwards to ensure it is a multiple of 4 | 30 is not a multiple of 4 so we adjust this to 32 so that it is a multiple of 4 |
Row 1: ch1, sc across the ribbing the total stitches calculated in the table above. Turn.
In Kiks + Jack Crochet example, we would crochet 32 sc across the ribbing.
Row 2: ch2, 2hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row, 2hdc in the last st. Turn (Kiks + Jack Crochet would now have 34 st across the row)
Row 3: ch2, 2hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row, 2hdc in the last st. Turn (Kiks + Jack Crochet would now have 36 st across the row)
Row 4: ch3, dc in 1st st, 1dc in next 2 st, *ch1, sk st, 1dc in next 3 st, rep from * across row, dc in last st. Turn
Row 5: ch3, sk 2 st and in the 3rd st, [puff st, ch4, puff st], *[puff st, ch4, puff st] in the 2nd dc of each “3dc group/cluster” below, rep from * across the row and end with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 6: ch3, *3dc in next ch-4 sp, ch1, rep from * across the row and end with a dc at top of tch. Turn
Row 7: ch2, hdc across the row the same number of stitches in the last hdc row (eg. row 3 and in Kiks + Jack Crochet’s version this would be 36 hdcs). The important thing is to crochet the same number of hdcs as your last hdc row. Turn
Row 8: ch2, 2hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row, 2hdc in the last st. Turn (Kiks + Jack Crochet would have 38 st across the row)
Row 9: ch2, 2hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row, 2hdc in the last st. Turn (Kiks + Jack Crochet would have 40 st across the row)
Row 10 – 13: repeat rows 4 – 7 in that order
At this point measure the width of the sleeve panel. If it is less than the widest part of your arm (usually the bicep and called the upper arm measurement – but it could also be your armhole depth depending on your body) you will need to continue increasing the width of the sleeve panel by adding 2 stitches in the half double crochet rows (ie. rows 8-9).
Keep repeating rows 4-9 in that order and keep measuring the width of the sleeve panel. As soon as the width of the sleeve panel is equal to the widest part of your arm you can stop increasing 2 stitches per row. You would then replace rows 9-10 with 2 regular hdc rows as follows:
hdc (non increase row): ch2, hdc in 1st st, hdc across the row, hdc in the last st. Turn
Continue rows 4-9 (using the increasing rows … or non increasing rows once your desired sleeve width is achieved) until the total length of your sleeve panel, including the cuff, is equal to your “Arm Length Measurement“.
Kiks + Jack Crochet will show you how to check the sleeve length again under “Assembly” so that you can ensure you have the perfect fit.
Kiks + Jack Crochet Example: We need a sleeve panel width of 14 inches. We crocheted rows 4-9 using the increasing rows until the sleeve panel width equals 14 inches. After this we crocheted rows 4-9 with rows 8-9 as non increasing regular hdc rows until the length of the sleeve panel equals our “Arm Length Measurement“.
Fasten off.
Remember you need to crochet two identical sleeve panels.
Assembling the The Oversized Tweed Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater
Kiks + Jack Crochet highly recommends blocking all your panels before assembly. Blocking your panels will set your panels to the shape and size you want and give it a polished look.
Kiks + Jack Crochet block our panels by pinning all the pieces on to an old yoga mat and manipulating the shape and edges so the front and back panel are similar and the two sleeve panels are similar. We then spray it with water focusing on the edges and ensuring it is well saturated. Do not remove the pins until the panels are completely dry.
Step 1: Seam the Front and Back Panel at the shoulder. Place the front and back panels together with the right sides facing together. With a yarn needle, seam the two panels together across the shoulders starting from the edge and across. Fasten off.
Step 2: Line up your sleeves at the midway point to the shoulder and seam. Open up the two panels (now seamed at the shoulders) so that the right side is facing the floor and the wrong side is facing upwards. Take one of your crocheted sleeves and fold it in half lengthways. Place a stitch marker at the top of your sleeve at the centre point. With the wrong side of the sleeve facing up, attach this stitch marker to the left edge of the left shoulder seam.
Kiks + Jack Crochet Tip: It is a good time to do an intuitive check on the length of your sleeve. You can “seam” it with a few locking stitch markers to the main panel. Try it on. If you would like the sleeve to be longer (eg. some like the cuff to be almost at the knuckles vs the wrist), you can remove the knot on your sleeve panel (where you fastened off) then add a few more rows on to your sleeve. Or you can reduce rows if you like your sleeves shorter by removing the knot first and pulling out (frogging) a few rows. Make sure you do the same on the second sleeve so they are identical.
When everything is perfect, using a yarn needle and matching yarn, seam the sleeves to the main panels (wrong side facing up) – see first diagram below (not to scale for illustrative purposes only)
Do the same on the right side with the other sleeve.
Step 3: Seam the sides of the sweater and the bottom of the sleeve together. Fold the two panels and sleeve panels at the seamed shoulders so that your sweater is facing wrong side out. With a yarn needle and matching yarn, seam the sides of the two panels together up to the armpit and along the bottom of the sleeve. See second diagram below (not to scale for illustrative purposes only)
Fasten off.
Step 4: Add the ribbing to the neckline
Turn the sweater right side out. Attach a yarn to the side of the neckline.
Round 1: ch1, sc in the first st, sc evenly around the neckline into every st. You can crochet 2sc in large spaces and 1sc in regular stitches. The key is to keep the sc even. When you complete the round, sl st to join at the top of the tch.
Round 2: ch3, dc in 2nd st, dc around into every st, when you complete the round, sl st to join at the top of the tch
Round 3: ch3, *fpdc, bpdc, rep from * until end of the round, sl st to the first fpdc. Go back up to the section Kiks + Jack Crochet Crochet Stitches & Abbreviations for instructions on how to crochet Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc) and Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc).
Kiks + Jack Crochet Tip: If you think you would like a thicker ribbing (it will depend on your gauge and preference) you can crochet another round of Round 3.
Fasten off.
