The Harlequin Jumper is a vintage inspired knit with a moody diamond pattern.
The iconic Harlequin diamond can be traced back to the European middle ages, most notably to the Italian theater-form Commedia dell’Arte, which flourished in the 16th century. The pattern was worn by the character Arlecchino – Harlequin.
The diamond pattern was popularized again in the 1940s, the era this knit is inspired by, with its fitted, cropped silhouette.
It is worked top down with tailored shoulder width and stranded colourwork.

NOTE ON AVAILABLE SIZES - if you want to knit this, or any of my patterns, in a larger size than I currently have published, please get in touch! The only reason it is not available in larger sizes is I couldn’t get testknitters for those sizes, and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size thats not been tested. So if you would like to (test)knit this - or any of my patterns! - in a larger size than is currently available, drop me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
