This elegant top-down jumper will be a staple in your wardrobe. Make it plain for everyday or with flared sleeves for an eye-catching 70’s vibe. With a deep scoop neck and simple granny stitches, you’ll be turning heads whichever style you choose.

The Lowrider Jumper uses DK yarn with a tension (gauge) of 5 groups to 10cm. It is available in UK & US crochet terms. It has step by step photos, charts, diagrams and a schematic. It is intermediate level, and will require some concentration for the yoke section.
There are also video tutorials on my YouTube channel.

It is worked from the top down, in a raglan style. Because of the deep scoop neck it is worked back and forth at the start, then worked in the round. The body and sleeve length can be easily modified by adding or removing rows as you go.

Both sleeve styles are included in the pattern. There is no sewing involved as the granny squares are crocheted together & onto the garment.

There is 7-9cm (3- 3.5’’) positive ease depending on size.
