Ruffle Up Your Jumper

Updated: Jan 14, 2023

Do you sometimes complain about your winter wardrobe — why not change up your style by upcycling some of your old jumpers, sweaters etc by giving them a beautiful new life. With my free crochet Ruffle Pattern you can embellish any jumper. Its a fast and easy project that won’t need more than one skein of yarn.



Materials: I used an old jumper from my wardrobe, Sirdar Saltaire yarn in colour Stoat. 3.5mm hook and 4.mm hook.

Notes: on my first round I used a smaller hook with a sharp point that easily managed to poke through my jumper. Then I jumped up to the next size hook on each round after.

Pattern:


1- sc around the top of your jumper, sl st to join.

2- sc in every stitch around, sl st to join.

3- ch2 (counts as your first hdc) hdc in every st around, sl st to join.

4- ch3 (counts as your first dc) then 3dc in same st, 4dc in next 2 sts, 3dc in next st, 4dc in next 3 sts, 3dc in next st. Repeat pattern to end, join with sl st. Fasten off and sew in ends.

Repeat same pattern on jumper sleeves.

left over yarn from your wool and the gang kit? why not turn it into a stunning wall hanging

What do you do with your left over yarns? I had some gorgeous left over crazy sexy wool from a jumper kit I received from the awesome Wool and the Gang. The jumper I made is called the heart of mine jumper. The kit comes with everything you need to make it the right amount of yarn in any colour of your choice the pattern and crochet hook. The pattern is very easy to follow and you can make it in no time at all I chose the colour Cameo rose, such a pretty colour, crazy sexy wool is so squishy and soft to touch, imagine how lovely this jumper is to wear.

I was very happy with my new jumper, and even more happy because I nearly had a whole skin of crazy sexy wool left over.  I wanted to make something visual and special with this last piece of yarn also this Cameo rose colour is so pretty and calming I could stare at it all day long that's why I decided to make a cute chunky wall hanging.

How to make a wall hanging

​

​

Materials

​

150g of crazy sexy wool

15mm crochet hook

yarn needle

any stick you can hang your square on.

​

​

The square is called a square inside a square, the pattern is not my pattern, I found it on Pinterest from hooksandyarns.blogspot.com. I made my square in just one colour. You can use any pattern really, I just love the look and texture you get when using this pattern. When you have finished your square sew in all the ends. Now to attach some tassels, I put one tassel through every stitch at the bottom of my square.

​

How to make your tassels

​

With one piece of yarn 24cm long, fold it in half with the loop at the end, then push it through your first stitch, then gently pull the yarn threads through your stitch and loop and tighten, repeat till the very last stitch. Don't worry if some of your tassels are longer then the others, you can give them a little trim once you've finished.

​

Attaching your stick

​

Using your yarn needle, sew the stick onto the square, attach another piece of yarn to each end of your stick which you will use to hang your wall hanging.

​

I hope you have enjoyed this wall hanging idea, please do tag me on Instagram @sweet_Sharna if your have an account and make one.
