Inspired by the clean lines and simple elegance of the 1930’s Art Moderne movement, this is a very quick and easy to knit jumper.

Worked flat from the bottom-up and seamed, with grafted shoulders, it has vertical rib detailing on hem, cuffs and yoke. Sleeves are three-quarters in length and it has a high boat neck. Button detailing on the hem.

Worn with 1”/ 2.5cm positive ease the jumper fits and flatters the hourglass figure.

This pattern is suitable for novice knitters.
