This jumper is smart and elegant in a chic style for needles no 3 mm or 3 ½ mm – casual classic design . The model is slightly fitted around the waist – which is optional though. The model is suitable for jeans as well as for a skirt.
The main pattern is an elastic wide rib with cable stitches mid front and back, along the sides and mid sleeves. The top sleeve continues between the shoulders on the body shaping a “saddle shoulder” giving a very good fit. The jumper is not difficult to make – just to follow the exact and well explained written pattern with chart.
Difficulty of execution measured from 1 (beginner) to 5 (advanged): 3.
The pattern are available in English, German, Italian and Danish and holds 3 sizes: small, medium/large and xlarge.
