The Jumper is a cosy, playful, relaxed everyday sweater designed to celebrate colour, texture, and using what you already have in your yarn stash. It features narrow stripes worked throughout, starting with lighter shades at the hem and gradually introducing brighter and deeper colours as you knit upwards.

The jumper has a comfortable, classic shape with long sleeves and a simple neckline. The sleeves are worked to echo the body stripes but do not need to match exactly, giving the finished garment a relaxed, handmade feel.

The stripes are created using a simple, repeatable sequence, making them easy to follow even if you’re new to working with colour. Only one colour is used at a time, so there is no stranding or complicated techniques involved.
