The Gingham Jumper knitting pattern is a charming oversized design for creating a cozy and stylish jumper. The pattern has a classic gingham pattern resulting in a textured and visually appealing garment. By alternating between two colors of yarn, knitters can achieve the distinctive gingham checkered effect on the jumper. I’m honestly thinking of how cute would this look in the old favourites colours white + blue, white + red!
The pattern provides instructions for creating the gingham pattern, shaping the neckline and sleeves, and hem.

CONSTRUCTION
The GINGHAM JUMPER is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and shoulders and then working down to the armholes. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round before finishing with the cuffs. The collar is picked up and worked in the round before seaming down to create a cozy double collar.

SKILL LEVEL Intermediate level because of the colour work and contiguous method.
