Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial on how to make a man's jumper. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a large-sized jumper. You can find patterns for other sizes on our website. To complete this project, you will need a 5-millimeter yarn, a 4.5-millimeter hook, a needle, and scissors. Let's get started!

Materials Required

Before we dive into the instructions, let's gather all the materials we'll need to make this jumper. You will need the following:

• 5-millimeter yarn
• 4.5-millimeter hook
• Needle
• Scissors

Now that we have everything we need, let's move on to the first step.

Back Part

The first part we will be working on is the back of the jumper. Follow these steps to create the back part:

Starting the Back Part

1. Make a slip knot and chain 70 stitches.
2. Make one half double crochet in each chain, working from the first stitch to the last.
3. Repeat this row for a total of 8 rows.

Creating the Armhole

1. Chain 2 and turn your work.
2. Make one increase by working two half double crochet in the first stitch, taking only the back loop of the stitch.
3. Continue making one half double crochet in each stitch, again taking only the back loops.
4. Repeat this row until you have reached the desired length for the armhole.

Increasing the Rows

1. Chain 2 and turn your work.
2. Make one half double crochet in each half double crochet from the previous row, taking only the back loops.
3. Repeat this row until you have completed 8 rows in total.

Now that the back part is complete, let's move on to the front part.

Front Part

The steps for creating the front part of the jumper are similar to the back part. Here's what you need to do:

Starting the Front Part

1. Follow the same steps as for the back part, making a slip knot and chaining 70 stitches.
2. Make one half double crochet in each chain, working from the first stitch to the last.
3. Repeat this row for a total of 17 rows.

Creating the Neckline

1. Make one half double crochet in each half double crochet from the previous row, stopping 25 stitches before the end.
2. Chain 2 and turn your work.
3. Repeat this row for a total of 20 rows.

Decreasing the Rows

1. Chain 2 and turn your work.
2. Make one decrease by working the first half double crochet, but do not finish it.
3. Work another half double crochet and finish both stitches together.
4. Continue making one half double crochet in each stitch, taking only the back loops.
5. Repeat this row until you have completed the same number of rows as the increases.

Now that we have both the back and front parts, let's move on to the sleeves.

Sleeves

The sleeves of the jumper are created separately and then attached to the body. Here's how to make the sleeves:

Beginning the Sleeves

1. Make a chain of 75 stitches.
2. Chain 2 and make one half double crochet in each half double crochet, taking only the back loops.
3. Repeat this row for a total of 6 rows.

Increasing the Rows

1. Chain 2 and turn your work.
2. Make one increase by working two half double crochet in the same space.
3. Continue making one half double crochet in each stitch, taking only the back loops.
4. Repeat this row for a total of 28 rows.

Decreasing the Rows

1. Chain 2 and turn your work.
2. Make one decrease by working the first half double crochet, but do not finish it.
3. Work another half double crochet and finish both stitches together.
4. Continue making one half double crochet in each stitch, taking only the back loops.
5. Repeat this row for a total of 28 rows, mirroring the increases.

Once the sleeves are complete, it's time to attach them to the body of the jumper.

Attaching the Sleeves to the Body

To attach the sleeves to the body, follow these steps:

1. Fold the jumper in half and place the sleeves at the armholes.
2. Sew the sides of the sleeves to the body using a needle and yarn.
3. Sew the bottom part of the sleeves to the body.
4. Repeat these steps for the other sleeve.

With the sleeves attached, let's move on to the neckline.

Making the Neckline

To create the neckline, follow these steps:

1. Make a chain of 30 stitches.
2. Chain 2 and make one half double crochet in each half double crochet.
3. Repeat this row for a total of 54 rows, taking only the back part of the stitch.

Once the neckline is complete, we can move on to sewing the pieces together.

Sewing the Pieces Together

To sew the pieces together, follow these steps:

1. Place the smaller part of the neckline on the front part of the jumper, crossing it over the neck opening.
2. Sew the sides of the smaller part to the front part.
3. Repeat this step for the other side of the neckline.
4. Sew the back part of the neckline to the back part of the jumper, creating a symmetrical shape.

Now that all the pieces are sewn together, we can add the finishing touches.

Finishing Touches

Finally, let's give our jumper a polished look with these finishing touches:

1. Weave in any loose ends of yarn on the inside of the jumper.
2. Trim any excess yarn with scissors.
3. Try on the jumper and adjust the fit if necessary.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed your man's jumper. Enjoy wearing your handmade creation with pride.
