Why You'll Love This Autumn Olive Mabel Pines Pullover Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple stitch techniques with endless creative possibilities through colorwork charts. I enjoy how the oversized shape flatters many body types while staying cozy and wearable. The design was created to be size inclusive, so I love that makers can follow the same steps to make any size from XS to 3X. I also love seeing the sweaters come to life with different graphics — each one becomes a unique piece of wearable art.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pullover — try swapping the color palette to pastels for a softer, vintage look or go neon for a bold, modern feel.

Want a cropped version? Simply work fewer torso rows before beginning the ribbing to shorten the body — I often remove 8-12 rows to get a cropped length.

Make a chunky, cuddly version by using bulky yarn and a larger hook; the graphics will look chunkier but still charming, and the sweater becomes extra warm.

For a miniature keychain or doll-sized sweater, use fingering yarn and a much smaller hook — scale down your chart stitches proportionally to maintain motif shapes.

I often swap the ribbing technique for a different texture like front post HDC to create a pronounced band at the hem and cuffs for extra visual interest.

Embroider outlines around motifs after completing the sweater to make graphic details pop — black embroidery thread works great for cartoon-style outlines.

Try adding appliques or small crocheted props (like mini bananas or a tiny UFO) sewn onto the finished sweater for a playful 3D effect.

If youd like posable sleeves, insert a length of craft wire inside the sleeve seams during assembly to create a subtle bendable structure.

I sometimes combine two small charts side-by-side on the torso panel to create a bigger, custom illustration — just make sure to recalculate starting stitch positions for your size.

Dont be afraid to mix and match motifs across the front, back, and sleeves — the pattern is designed so you can place graphics in different locations and still retain a balanced look.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not checking your gauge before beginning will change the finished fit; make a 2"x2" swatch of 5 rows of 6 HDC and adjust hook size as needed to match the gauge. ✗ Skipping the turning-row method for sleeve graphics can cause distortion in the motif; follow the turning-row instructions carefully to keep charts straight on the cuffs. ✗ Forgetting to place color-change joins on the last yarn over leads to messy floats; always change color on the last pull-through of the previous color to secure neat edges. ✗ Not pinning panels before sewing results in uneven seams and misaligned graphics; use pins to match row counts and stitch counts before stitching pieces together. ✗ Pulling your tension too tight during colorwork will pucker the fabric; maintain relaxed, consistent tension and crochet over floats when possible to keep the fabric even.

— Colorwork Tips :

Infos :

find more add on graphics with instructions autumnolive.com. When changing colors it should be done on the last stitch of the current color: yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over with the new color then pull through.

Infos :

I recommend crocheting over your color changes. Keep all ends to one side of the piece. Remember, if you change the size of your panels away from the 7 graded sizes, be sure to refigure the graphics to the center. Be sure to create sleeves with graphics in the turning row method !!! Graphics are measured at the widest points, be sure that you are looking at the numbers on the grid to ensure that you are including the blank spaces as part of the total stitch count.

Infos :

You can create all-over graphics that overlap on the ribbing by simply working the graphic sideways for the ribbing and rotating back to normal to continue the graphic when working the panel portion. You will be given the graphs for the mini graphics but placement and spacing is up to you, I would recommend stitch fiddle to assist in mapping it out based on reference images from the show, applied to a grid with the dimensions of the stitch counts listed in the pattern for your size panels and sleeves. Pattern is found below the list of graphics.

— Final Notes :

Info :

On the back panel, the dog stripes will be staggered to form diagonals of a left to right incline, each section should end up being 5 rows thick. Follow the per-row instructions above to map the stripes and transitions. Use long tails to weave in and secure color changes as desired.

Assembly Instructions

  • Pin front and back panels together at the shoulder seams aligning row counts, then sew shoulders using mattress stitch or slip stitch to create a flat seam.
  • Attach sleeves by easing the sleeve opening into the armhole, matching the mid-torso to cuff length and distributing stitches evenly, then sew securely with whipstitch.
  • Sew side seams from the bottom ribbing up to the underarm, leaving the sleeve openings neat and symmetrical; weave in ends as you go.
  • Fold the turtleneck to create the fold-over collar and sew the short ends together evenly before attaching to the neckline opening.
  • When joining colorwork panels, arrange graphics as shown in the photos and pin before stitching to preserve alignment; crochet over floats where recommended.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds and panel joins, especially during color changes and shaping.
  • 💡Stuffing and blocking are not required, but gently blocking panels after finishing can help even out tension and align graphics.
  • 💡Weave in ends as you go to avoid a tedious finishing session; keep all color-change tails to one side for neatness.
  • 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout, especially during colorwork, to prevent puckering and ensure accurate graphic placement.
