Sila-jumper is worked seamlessly top down with circular yoke construction. Short rows are first worked on the back to lower the neckline and again on the back before hem ribbing for a longer, slightly curving back hemline. Lateral braids on the neckline, cuffs and hem give the jumper a finished look.
