Crochet Jumper & Cardigan in Stylecraft Moonbeam DK

What is Being Made

This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating two coordinating crochet garments: a jumper (pullover) and a cardigan. Both designs are available in five size options ranging from 81-86cm to 122-127cm bust measurements (32-34in to 48-50in), making these versatile pieces suitable for a wide range of body types. The jumper features a shorter front length compared to the back, while the cardigan is designed with a full-length back measurement of approximately 66-72cm depending on size selected.

• Cardigan Back Length: Approximately 66-72cm (26-28.25in)

• Actual Bust Measurements: 98cm to 140cm (38½in to 55¼in) across five graduated sizes

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This intermediate-level crochet pattern is built primarily on crossed treble stitches, which create a distinctive textured fabric. The crossed treble pattern is worked as follows: miss one chain, work one treble in the next chain, then work one treble in the chain just missed, repeating this sequence to create an interlocking crossed effect throughout the garment.

The pattern notes that when increases or decreases are required within the crossed treble pattern and a full pair of crossed trebles cannot be worked, these stitches should be executed as regular trebles only. This modification ensures shaping is possible while maintaining pattern integrity in areas where full crossed trebles cannot be accommodated.

• Primary Stitch: Crossed treble (tr)
• Foundation: Chain (ch)
• Shaping Method: Increases and decreases worked as necessary, with treble substitutions where crossed trebles cannot be completed

Materials Required

This pattern is designed for double knitting (DK) weight yarn in Stylecraft Moonbeam colorway. A 4mm crochet hook is used for the main fabric construction. The specific yardage requirements for each size are detailed within the full pattern document.
