Garment making can seem so very daunting but this simple and fun crochet jumper is just the thing to get you going and boost your confidence. With box set sleeves, a beautifully textured stitch and cuff detail, you’ll love wearing it as much as making it.

The jumper is designed to be oversized and effortless to wear with a neckline that you can adapt to suit yourself. Just join a few more or less stitches depending on how you’d like it to sit across your shoulders. The pattern comes in the following four sizes: S (UK 8-10), M (UK 12-14), L (UK 16-18), XL (UK 20-22).

The pattern comes in both standard UK and US crochet terms to make life easier for you too.
