Movement Jumper - Crochet Pattern For Women in MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton by MillaMia

Movement Jumper – Crochet Pattern for Women in MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton

The Movement Jumper is a striking women's pullover sweater designed by MillaMia and worked in their Naturally Soft Cotton yarn. Described as absolutely stunning in monochrome, this intermediate-level crochet pattern produces a fitted, colourwork jumper with bold graphic appeal. The design is available as a downloadable PDF and is exclusively worked in crochet, making it a rewarding project for crafters who are ready to move beyond beginner techniques.

What Is Being Made

This pattern creates a women's pullover jumper with set-in sleeves, worked in two colours to produce a stranded colourwork effect. The finished garment features a classic silhouette with a defined chest measurement and a fixed sleeve length, making it a versatile wardrobe staple. The design is shown in a striking Black 300 and White 310 colourway, though MillaMia also suggests two alternative colourways for a fresh look using the same construction:

• Colourway 2: Seaweed 350 (A) and Pure White 310 (B)
• Colourway 3: Indigo Purple 321 (A) and Black 300 (B)

The pattern notes that just a touch of colour will make it look like a completely new design, encouraging crocheters to revisit the pattern in multiple colourways.

Sizing and Measurements

The Movement Jumper is offered in four sizes to fit a range of chest measurements:

• 82–87 cm (32–34 in) – Actual chest: 92 cm / 36¼ in
• 92–97 cm (36–38 in) – Actual chest: 106 cm / 41¾ in
• 102–107 cm (40–42 in) – Actual chest: 120 cm / 47¼ in
• 112–117 cm (44–46 in) – Actual chest: 134 cm / 52¾ in

The length to back neck ranges from 53 cm to 59 cm (21 in to 23¼ in) depending on size, and the sleeve length is a consistent 45 cm / 17¾ in across all sizes. The generous positive ease built into the actual measurements gives the jumper a comfortable, relaxed fit over the stated chest sizes.

Techniques Used

The Movement Jumper employs a combination of techniques that place it firmly at the intermediate skill level:

• Worked flat: The pieces of the jumper are crocheted flat, meaning each panel is worked back and forth in rows rather than in the round. This is a traditional construction method that gives the crocheter precise control over shaping.
• Stranded colourwork: Two colours are carried across rows to create the repeating geometric or movement-inspired pattern that gives the jumper its name. Stranded crochet requires managing yarn tension carefully to ensure the fabric lies flat and the floats are neat on the wrong side.
• Seamed construction: Once the individual pieces are complete, they are joined together using seaming. This finishing technique is common in garment construction and produces clean, structured edges at the shoulders, sides, and sleeve joins.

Together, these techniques make the Movement Jumper an excellent next step for crocheters who are comfortable with basic stitches and are looking to develop their colourwork and garment-finishing skills.

Stitches Used

The pattern is built around a repeating stitch pattern with a tension gauge of one pattern repeat measuring 7 cm / 2¾ in over the stitch pattern. The structured repeat creates the visual movement effect across the body and sleeves of the jumper. Standard crochet stitches form the foundation of the construction, consistent with sport-weight colourwork crochet garments of this type.
