One pattern, one yarn—perfect for a parent-child duo to step out in matching outfits. The child’s jumper (featured in size XS) features a classic design with long, straight sleeves, ensuring it can be worn for longer as they grow. Mum’s jumper (featured in size M) has a more contemporary look with three-quarter sleeves, ideal for layering over a shirt.

Knitted in Stone Washed, a cotton-acrylic blend that offers a woolly appearance, this jumper is worked back and forth, making it accessible for newer knitters ready to tackle shaping and for seasoned crafters seeking a simple project. The raglan sleeves provide a flattering fit, and both the body and sleeve lengths can be easily adjusted to your preference.
