About the jumper

The Indradha Jumper is so easy to make and perfect for spring and summer evenings. It’s so light, soft and
breathable. I simply love it. And the colors are so beautiful.

The name inspiration came from the fiber Cashmere, which is a wool from the Kashmir goats that are originally
from Himalaya. “Indradhanush” in Hindi means “Rainbow”. I love how it sounds, so I decided to use the first
part of the word to name my new, beautiful design.

About the Design

This Indradha Jumper is such a great pattern for beginners. It’s easy to make and requires no shaping. It’s
worked in one single piece and the sleeves are worked as we go. After finishing the whole piece, all you have
to do is to sew the sides and done.

The back and front panels are made one continuing the other, after letting the neck opening. The Indradha
Jumper is oversized having a 10 cm (4”) positive ease. But if you want a closer fit you can just start with less
stitches than written in the pattern.

This pattern is available in 3 sizes, from S to L and is written in US terms. Final measurements listed below:

About the stitches

The stitch pattern is easy and beginner friendly. We will work the entire Jumper in double crochet and some
front post stripes. The front post stripes can be made in 2 different ways and in the end the stitches will look
the same. You can choose either of the versions.

Stitch version 1
Right side row : 9 dc, 1 FPDC in next
Wrong side row: 9 dc, 1 BPDC in next (The BPDC is made around the FPDC made in previous row)

Below you can find the stitch chart:

*first row from the chart indicate the last row of the elastic band made at the beginning by alteranting 1 FPDC
with 1BPDC

Stitch version 2

If you find it difficult to identify the stitches where you have to make the BPDC when you are working on the
wrong side, you can make this round just in double crochet.

Then, on the right side, to create the front post stripes, you will work front post triple crochet instead of front
post dc’s. The stitch has to be made around the previous row FP triple crochet, meaning that you will have to
make the st one row down.

Below you can find the stitch chart for the second version:

In the end the pattern will look the same, no matter which version you will find easier.

Now that we are done with all the details, let’s get started!

Front panel

Brim

Foundation chain:
The pattern requires multiple of 10 + 9 sts, because we are making 9 dc and 1 FPDC in next. *You can adjust
the number of stitches needed if you choose to have less or more dc’s between the front post stripes.

● S =​ 89 sts
● M =​ 99 sts
● L =​ 109 sts

Row 1
*chain2 at the beginning of the row counts as first dc.
Ch 2, 1 dc in the 3​rd​ st, 1 dc in each st to the end of the row. Ch 2and turn.

Row 2
[1 FPDC, 1 BPDC in next]. Repeat to the end of the row. Ch 2 and turn

Row 3
[1BPDC, 1 FPDC in next]. Repeat to the end of the row. CH 2 and turn

Row 4
Repeat row 2

After the brim is done, we will start to work the main stitch pattern as explained above choosing one of the 2
versions that you will find easier.

Row 1 - 42
Without counting the rows made for the elastic band, follow the stitch pattern until you have in total 42 rows (for
all sizes)

After the 42 rows are done you will have to cut the yarn, because we will start the next row with a chain, that
will be the sleeve. For all sizes.

Row 43
Ch 50, 1 dc in the first st of the worked square. Continue with the stitch pattern to the end of the row. Finish the
row with ch 51 and turn.

Row 44
1 dc in the 3 st, 1 dc in next ch sts. When you get to the square continue with the stitch pattern until you get to
the opposite side chain. In the last ch sts, make 1 dc in each. Ch 2 and turn.

Row 45
Starting with row 45 you have to make the stitch pattern (9 dc, 1 FPDC/BPDC) including on the sts for the
sleeves extensions. Repeat the pattern until you have in total for the sleeves:

● S =​ 17 rows
● M =​ 19 rows
● L =​ 20 rows

And the front panel is done.

If you are working size S or M you will have to cut the yarn and start the second cake. Unwind from the new
cake the yarn color that you didn’t use from the first one. You will have to start the second cake from the
opposite end.

For example I started the first cake from the inside, and the second one from the outside.

On the next row we will leave a space for the neck. Use 2 stitch markers or 2 strands of yarn to mark the sts in
the middle.

● S =​ 77 sts left and right, 35 sts for the neck

● M =​ 81 sts left and right, 37 sts for the neck
● L =​ 84 sts left and right, 41 sts for the neck

Back Panel

Row 1
*​the numbers for sizes M and L are written between brackets.
Ch 2, repeat the stitch pattern until you get to the marked st, ch 35 (37, 41) skip the stitches for the neck line
and continue with the stitch pattern from the second marked st.

Rows 2 – 18 (20, 21)

Starting with row 2 you will have to make the same number of rows that we made for the sleeves on the front
panel. In the chain made for the neck line you will make on this row only double crochet stitches.

Row 19 (21, 23)

Now that we finish the sleeves, on the next row we will have to decrease the sts for the sleeves and continue
only with the sts for the body. Basically you will have to have the same number of sts as the one you start with.

Sl st the first 50 sts, then continue with the stitch pattern until you have 50 sts left. Ch 2 and turn.

Rows 20 – 59 ( 22 – 61, 24 – 62)
Repeat the stitch pattern.
After finishing the number of rows worked in the main stitch pattern you will have to add the 3 rows for the
elastic band and done: the whole piece is done.

To finish the Indradha Jumper you will have to fold the piece in half and sew the sides starting with the end of
the sleeve and continuing until you get to the bottom of the sweater. And the sweater is done :-)
