The Mosaic Jumper is a celebration of nature at its best! It’s inspired by flower meadows that lie dormant in winter only to burst out in colour with the arrival of Spring. With ALL of the colours and fun mosaic graphics, it’s the perfect garment to use up yarn in your stash, to experiment and have lots of fun with colour. It’s a round yoke pullover with short rows at the back for a perfectly comfortable fit. It has loose sleeves that puff slightly at the bottom, and it is sure to brighten any little one’s wardrobe! The pattern follows mosaic chart and comes with complete video tutorials for learning all of the necessary techniques.
The pattern is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. / El patrón está disponible en Español. / O molde está disponível em português. / Le patron est disponible en français

Alternative Yarns
Any fingering weight yarn will work, but here are some I love and recommend (some of which are included in the sample):
Gauge
21 sts x 24 rows of chart (single row mosaic crochet in rounds) = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in.
Use your gauge swatch to familiarise yourself with the technique following these kinds of charts (instructions included with charts). You can use any of the charts included in the pattern to obtain your gauge or work the Mo-Mo bag tutorial that I have included in my blog.
gauge swatch should be blocked for better results.
