A sideways sweater, knit from the centre out to each cuff. Jolly Jumper is designed to make the most of a festive yarn mini-skein set and would also make a fun scrappy project or keep it simple with one colour. Work the 6-row stripe repeat or knit on, changing colours as inspiration strikes. The pattern offers a choice between two body lengths and a sleeveless or sleeve option. A deep twisted ribbing hem adds contrast to your Jolly Jumper.
