Bundle: Jonas Children’s and Adult’s Dinosaur Sweater PDF Crochet Patterns

This is a bundle of the intermediate level PDF crochet patterns for the Jonas adult’s sweater and Jonas children’s sweater. The patterns are written in English and in US terminology. The Jonas dinosaur sweater is a fun, cosy and very wearable sweater. The patterns are built around graphs as well as written instructions for the sizes XS-5XL and 1 year, 2 years, 4 years, 6 years, 8 years, 10 years and 12 years. They includes detailed instructions and pictures for the different techniques used and explain how to read the graphs for the colourwork.
The sweaters are made from a front panel and a back panel that are crocheted from the top down (so the length is adjustable). The sleeves, the collar and the ribbing are then crocheted onto the connected panels. The patterns use mostly half double crochet as well as single crochet and back loop only single crochet. Since the non-working yarn is always being carried, there are not as many ends to weave in as you might first think. The patterns also comes with a lookbook of my testers’ beautiful and colourful versions of the sweater.

The patterns are graded for sizes XS-5XL and 1 year, 2 years, 4 years, 6 years, 8 years, 10 years and 12 years. The adult’s sizes thereby correspond to chest sizes 71-158 cm or 28-62 inches. The children’s sizes correspond to chest sizes 46-76 cm or 18.5-30 inches. The sweater has between 17-26 cm (6.7-10.2”) of positive ease around the widest part of the chest depending on what size you choose The gauge for the patterns in half double crochet stitches is 16 stitches x 12 rows (10x10 cm or 4x4 inches). If you don’t know how to make a gauge swatch, this is explained in the patterns.
