The Sideways Crochet Jumper
"I have not taken this crochet jumper off- my Sideways Jumper- is a free pattern on the blog. Check out my blog post, read about the construction or scroll down for the free crochet jumper pattern. The construction of this crochet jumper is slightly different because I have literally turned it on its side! As a result you get vertical lines of stitches running through the jumper. These are great because they frame your silhouette and create a nice flowing garment. The main body of this crochet jumper is worked in rows running from neck to waist. I have used half double crochet stitch worked through the third loop only because I just love this stitch. As a result you get a ribbed crochet jumper that looks knitted."
