Enfield Jumper Crochet Pattern

Enfield Jumper in Berroco Emberstone

What is Being Made

The Enfield Jumper is a crochet pullover sweater designed by Alison Green, available in 10 sizes ranging from 37½" to 73½" bust circumference. This intermediate-level garment features a classic pullover construction with shaped shoulders and set-in sleeves. The finished length ranges from 22¼" to 27¼" depending on size, making it suitable for various body types and style preferences. The design is shown modeled in size 3 (45½" bust) with approximately 12" of positive ease for a relaxed, comfortable fit.

Construction Technique

The Enfield Jumper employs a top-down construction method, which allows for easy fitting adjustments during the making process. The pattern begins with the back and front pieces worked separately from a foundation chain, then these sections are joined together to work the lower body in the round for seamless integration. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders, creating a tailored fit at the neckline and armhole areas. After the shoulder seams are completed, sleeves are picked up directly from the armholes and worked in the round from the top down. This construction approach minimizes seaming and creates a cohesive garment structure. Ribbing is added to the neckline as a finishing detail to provide structure and a polished appearance.

Stitches and Techniques Used

The primary stitch used throughout the Enfield Jumper is the double crochet (dc), which creates a fabric with good drape and structure suitable for a wearable garment. The pattern incorporates short-row shaping at the shoulders to create proper fit and definition. Ribbing at the neckline adds elasticity and a refined finish. The gauge for this pattern is 12 stitches and 6½ rows over 4 inches in double crochet, measured after blocking. Achieving accurate gauge is essential for proper fit, as the finished measurements depend on maintaining this tension throughout the project.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Berroco Emberstone (100 g balls) in colorway #11025 Lapis Luxe. Yardage requirements range from 6 to 12 balls depending on size selected, with smaller sizes requiring 6–7 balls and larger sizes requiring 10–12 balls.
• Hook: Crochet hook size K-10½ / 6.5 mm, or the size needed to obtain the specified gauge of 12 stitches and 6½ rows per 4 inches.
• Notions: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and seaming shoulders. A removable stitch marker is optional but helpful for tracking pattern repeats and construction points.
