Patchwork Jumper

Pick your four favourite colours and go to town with this stylish patchwork-effect jumper. This simple, boxy style with minimal shaping allows the colours to do the talking.

The patchwork jumper uses DK yarn with a tension (gauge) of 5 groups to 10cm/4in. It is available in both UK and US crochet terms. It is intermediate level. It comes in 8 sizes (see photos for sizing and yarn quantities). Although it doesn't have step photos, it is clearly explained and simple to follow. It is made from the bottom up in separate panels and sewn together at the end. The drop sleeves are worked in the round. The body and sleeve length can be easily modified by adding or removing rows as you go.
