Petal Lace Jumper by Lisa Cook

What is Being Made

The Petal Lace Jumper is a crocheted pullover sweater designed by Lisa Cook featuring decorative lace patterning. This intermediate-level garment is available in six sizes ranging from XS to XXL, with finished bust measurements from 86 cm (34 inches) to 137 cm (54 inches). The jumper offers versatile length options, with finished lengths of 47 cm (18.5 inches), 57 cm (22.5 inches), and 67 cm (26.5 inches) depending on size selection.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs lace-based crochet techniques to create the signature petal detailing throughout the garment. The construction utilizes standard crochet stitches combined in a structured lace pattern, making it suitable for crocheters with intermediate skill levels. The pattern includes detailed stitch instructions with size variations noted in parentheses to accommodate the range of finished garment sizes.

Materials and Yarn

The Petal Lace Jumper is designed to be worked in DK weight yarn (also known as 8 ply). The original pattern specifies King Cole Cottonsoft in shade 1574 Coral, which provides 210 metres (229 yards) per 100g ball. Yarn quantities required range from 3 balls for the smallest size (XS) to 6 balls for the largest sizes (L, XL, and XXL).

The pattern accommodates yarn substitutes, permitting the use of any DK (8 ply) weight yarn in cotton, linen, or cotton blend fibers to achieve a similar visual effect and drape. This flexibility allows crafters to select alternative yarns while maintaining the intended finished appearance and structure of the garment.

Tools Required

• 4.5 mm crochet hook
• 5 mm crochet hook
• Tapestry needle for sewing in yarn ends
