This post contains my Amy Pullover FREE Crochet Pattern. I designed the pullover back in November of 2018. It took me a while to get it just right and now I have and I get to share it with You! I couldn’t have done it without my pattern testers. Thank you Lindsay Silvestrini, Sally Hayes, Sherry Dickenson, Jennifer Secord and Tara Smith.
With the colder months already here, this would be a GREAT project to do while you are cooped up in the house. You can binge watch Netflix or Hulu while crocheting the Amy Pullover.

As a Scoliosis Survivor I have a lot of free time on my hands. Because I suffer with Chronic Pain I sit or recline on the couch crocheting and watching Netflix. Since I watch a lot of TV I got the idea for the Amy Pullover from Season 7 of American Horror Story. Weird right? lol
Sarah Paulson wore roomy, comfy and warm looking tops a lot in Season 7, like the image above. Yes, you may find this silly or funny, but I loved the way they look SO much so I designed a crochet pattern around her wardrobe. The images below depict my version of her tops. I hope you find it roomy, warm and comfy as much as I do!
Sara Paulson also reminds me of my sister, Amy. Amy was in town while I was designing the Pullover. She isn’t into crochet and she actually didn’t like the color of the top. lol My sister wears the latest fashion and I can see her in this roomy, warm, and comfy Pullover. That is another reason I named the pullover after my sister, Amy. I have been waiting to share this post because Amy’s birthday is in December. I wanted to give her a gift and to let her know how much her support means to me. Thank you and Happy Birthday Amy.
I hope you enjoy my Amy Pullover. The Amy Pullover Free Crochet pattern has 6 sizes to choose from. I hope you share your version of the Amy Pullover with me.
