Pick your four favourite colours and go to town with this stylish patchwork effect jumper. This simple boxy style with minimal shaping allows the colours to do the talking.

This pattern is also in my book ‘Modern Granny Stitch Crochet’. Available on Amazon.

The patchwork jumper uses DK yarn with a tension (gauge) of 5 groups to 10cm/4in. It is available in both UK and US crochet terms. It is intermediate level. It comes in 8 sizes from XS to 4XL and has 10cm positive ease. Although it doesn’t have step photos, it is clearly explained and simple to follow. It is made from the bottom up in separate panels and sewn together at the end. The sleeves are worked in the round. The body and sleeve length can be easily modified by adding or removing rows as you go.
