The Maya Jumper is a boat neck, drop shoulder, balloon sleeve jumper with intricate mandala detailing. Whilst the mandala looks dainty and fiddly, I promise you only need to know the basic crochet stitches to create this beauty. I originally created this design after being inspired by Fair Isle knit jumpers and several prototypes later I decided on mandala detailing around the neck and wrists!

Available in 9 sizes, this cropped jumper is designed to look great on everyone. It’s an intermediate pattern but I would encourage confident beginners to have a go! This pattern is available in both UK & US terminology so you don’t have to translate stitches.

Bust sizes given as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X): 102 (114, 124, 130, 144, 152, 160, 166, 174) cm, requiring 1190 (1355, 1433, 1620, 1762, 1960, 2049, 2259, 2353) metres of DK yarn TOTAL.

The garment is designed to have approximately 16-26cm positive ease (looser fit) on the bust and around 6-10cm positive ease on the arms, ensuring an oversized fit. If you’re between sizes or prefer a more fitted jumper, size down.

I really look forward to seeing your Maya Mandala jumper, please use the #MayaMandalaJumper on social media so I can see your lovely work!
