Crochet Jumper — PDF Crochet Pattern #109

A loose crochet jumper with a front built from granny squares and a plain crocheted back, worked with 6 and 7 mm hooks in Scandi Cotton. Five sizes, S to XXL. Instant PDF download.

The granny squares are the whole idea here. You make them first, on the smaller hook, join them into a panel for the front, and everything after that is straight rows of single and half double crochet — so the fiddly part is done while you are still fresh, and the rest is the kind of crochet you can do in front of a film. The shoulders are seamed with a wide 24 cm neck opening left in the middle, which is what gives the jumper its easy, off-duty shape. It looks completely different depending on whether you keep to one colour or use up scraps in the squares.
