Evelyn Jumper Crochet Pattern

Evelyn Jumper in Rowan Big Wool

What Is Being Made

The Evelyn Jumper is a crocheted sweater designed by Emma Wright, available in three sizes to fit bust measurements of 71–97 cm, 102–127 cm, and 132–157 cm. This intermediate-level crochet project creates a finished garment with a crocheted bust measurement of 102 cm, 136 cm, or 170 cm depending on size selection. The jumper is constructed using a modular granny square technique, making it an excellent project for crocheters looking to build a garment from geometric components.

Construction and Techniques

The Evelyn Jumper uses a distinctive half granny square construction method. The pattern requires crocheting between 18 and 26 half granny squares (depending on size), with each completed square measuring approximately 17 × 17 cm on the diagonal after assembly. The squares are joined together using chain stitches to form the complete jumper. This modular approach allows for flexible construction and makes the project manageable for intermediate crocheters.

The garment employs a color-work technique using four distinct yarn colors from the Rowan Big Wool range, which are worked in sequence across the granny square rounds. The pattern uses a size 10 crochet hook throughout the project.

Stitches Used

The Evelyn Jumper incorporates several fundamental crochet stitches:

• Chain stitch (Luftmasche / LfM) – used for foundation rings and spacing between stitch groups
• Single crochet (fM) – the primary fabric stitch used in the granny squares
• Half treble (hStb) – employed for stitch variation and texture
• Treble (Stb) – used in the initial rounds of the granny squares
• Slip stitch (Kettm) – used to join rounds and connect completed squares
• Turning chain (Wendeluftmasche / WLfM) – used at the start of rows

Materials

The Evelyn Jumper is worked in Rowan Big Wool, a bulky-weight yarn. The pattern specifies the following yardage requirements by size: 8, 10, or 12 balls of 100 grams each, depending on which size is being made. Four colors from the Rowan Big Wool range are used:

• Color A: Biscotti 082
• Color B: Black 008
• Color C: Glum 056
• Color D: White Hot 001

The project requires one size 10 crochet hook for all construction.

Gauge and Finished Measurements

The pattern specifies a gauge of 9 single crochets and 11 rows in single crochet measuring 10 × 10 cm when worked with a size 10 hook. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for obtaining the proper finished garment dimensions. Each completed half granny square measures approximately 17 × 17 cm on the diagonal after the squares are joined with chain stitches.
