General notes concerning this pattern
Each step of this project is explained in detail throughout the pattern; this is just to give you a brief explanation of what is to be expected before starting the project.
To begin, we will be making both the front and back panels of this jumper (these two are identical).
Then we will be crocheting the sleeves (2 identical sleeves). Once this is done, we will seam each sleeve, place all the elements of the sweater together and sew this sweater together.
Once this is completed, we will be adding the sleeve edgings, the neck edging as well as crocheting the bottom edging also.

3-30 (36) [42] {48} *54* 54: Repeat row 2.
Fasten off, leaving long tail for seaming the sleeves.
Once you have these 4 elements, you can start assembling your jumper together.
Assembling your jumper together
Start by folding sleeves in half width wise, and seaming the sleeves together, using tapestry needle and loose end.
With wrong side facing, place the back of your jumper onto a flat surface. Now place both front panels flat onto the back of the jumper. There is no gap for the neck and front part, meaning the back and front panels are completely on top of the other (see photo below).
Now sew the shoulder seams at the top of the jumper, using the mattress stitch.
Then place sleeves to each side of the jumper, and start sewing sleeves from the top of project, working all the way down to the bottom of the jumper. Make sure you place the seam of the sleeves facing down.
You can then sew the “back” side of the sleeve to the back side of the project by flipping the project around. This creates a more seamless stitching.
Do this on both sides of the jumper for each sleeve and side of project.
Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.
Sleeve cuffs
Repeat this process on each sleeve. We will be working this part of the project in the rounds.
Attach yarn to any stitch on the edge of the 1st sleeve.
Round 1: Ch 1 (=SC), place SCs all across the edge of the sleeve, until you reach the first ch 1; sl st to 1st ch to close off round.
Please note that this is the “wrong” side of the stitches so you need to place the SCs evenly so as to not “tighten” the project.
Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends. Repeat process on the other sleeve cuff.
Neck edging
We will be working this part in the round.
Attach yarn to any stitch at the top of the neck/shoulder opening.
Round 1: Ch 1 (=SC), SC into next st until eor, making sure you place your SC evenly across the neck opening. Sl st to first ch 1 to close off round.
Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.
Bottom edging
We will be working this part in the rounds.
Attach yarn to the bottom edging of the jumper.
1: Ch 1 (=SC), * sk 1 st, SC into the next 2 stitches* until eor; sl st to 1st chain 1 to close off round.
2: Ch 2 (=HDC), place a HDC into next st until eor; sl st to first ch 2 to close off round.
3-5: Repeat row 2.
Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.
