Pattern notes
Jumper is worked in the round, top down in one piece to armholes. At armholes it is divided for Sleeves and Body.
It is a unisex design, so Yoke depth is slightly deeper than traditional women’s sizing. Body and Sleeve lengths given in Measurements Table are based on women’s sizing; these can easily be lengthened but this will affect yarn quantities needed.
4.5mm hook is used for foundation and extension chs only.
Overlay mosaic crochet technique is used. Patt is created by working tr sts (referred to as mtr, see Special Abbreviations) in flo of st two rows below, and working dc sts into blo or flo of st as indicated. At colour changes, leave prev colour hanging loose as you work next round, ready to rejoin in foll round. Fasten off colour once it is finished in colour sequence.

This pattern is featured in YARN Bookazine 14 - Expression, available at Scheepjes retailers worldwide.
