Cross-Over Jumper
"Nice cross-over jumper with a dotty decorated bottom half."
Crochet HookG/6 or 4 mm hook
Yarn Weight(3) Light/DK (21-24 stitches to 4 inches)
Crochet Gauge5dc across= 1in
5 rows dc = 2in
Finished SizeUk size 16 (but loose fit for clothing underneath)
Materials List
- 4mm crochet hook
- Wool needle
- 8, 100g balls of dk wool (or more/less depending on your size. Mine took literally 7 1/4 balls!!)
This pattern was designed by and for myself. Roughly its UK size 16, but with enough room to get t-shirts etc underneath without tightness. To scale for yourself, use the tension gauge to work out how many stitches to increase or decrease by. Also, depending on the size of your boobage, you can cross-over more or less when stitching that part together.

Hi darlene, I'm sorry, I'm not positive. It looks like this was a pattern submission, and it doesn't look like a website was included with her submission. I would guess US since we're an American website that she's submitted to? Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochet

I appreciate patterns that are crocheted and then modeled for plus size girls. These are the items that I long to create because I see what it may would look like on me. I like this cross over design and I want to make this is a warmer color. Thanks again to the model/designer.

When I read the title of this project "jumper" I was hoping for a dress. This is a beautiful pattern and it may be worthy to attempt. I guess I could increase the length of the stomach piece and create a dress. I love all things "cross-over" in a piece. A simple way to add interest.
