Crochet Easy Scarlet Jumper

Hi everyone, I hope you are well. This week I am bringing to you a tutorial on how to Crochet The Easy Scarlet Jumper.

I am especially proud of this pattern, it took me a few weeks to create and then film. The Crochet Scarlet Jumper is the first crochet sweater pattern that I have written.

As always, my video tutorial is available on my Youtube channel here: Crochet Scarlet Jumper Video Tutorial

Crochet Easy Scarlet Jumper — The boat neck is a very feminine feature

A beginner friendly project to crochet

It is a very easy and beginner friendly crochet project, and is very quick to make, as well as being extremely budget friendly. Indeed, all these were requirements that I wanted to make sure I respected when making my first crochet sweater tutorial, and I am really happy with the result! It is a jumper which can be made in a size S, M, or L, and I cannot wait for you to let me know what you think in the comments.

Stylecraft Special Aran in shade Lipstick

Using only balls of Stylecraft Special Aran in shade Lipstick, this project is made with almost only Double Crochets following a very easy pattern repeat. You know my love of this shade which I have used a few times already in past projects.

The colour is absolutely delightful, and makes the most perfect Christmas jumper, which is always a bonus during this season. The slouchy shape of this sweater is very trendy as the moment. Also, the boat neck is extremely feminine and flattering, something that was very important to me whilst creating this jumper.

A therapeutic pattern

I loved creating this very simple crochet pattern, as it really was easy to create, and is the perfect beginner project. If you are looking to crochet your first garment, then this is the perfect project for you! It is very simple to assemble too, and the Double Crochet repeat pattern is very soothing and therapeutic.

I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed making it, and I would love to hear what you thought of this project. As always, I am delighted when you tag me in Social Media, so don’t hesitate to do so, and you can also follow me on Instagram and my Facebook page (at Selina Veronique).

Lots of love,

Xoxo Selina.

Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing

To sew your jumper:

With wrong side facing, assemble all the parts of your jumper onto a flat surface, start by sewing the shoulder seams, working all the way down to the bottom of the jumper. Do this on both sides of the jumper.

Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.
