Whiskygrandpajumper // KNITTING PATTERN

As I get asked a lot about extending the size range of my patterns, I decided to update one by one in 2024.
Therefor, I will need testers.
So if you alwalys wanted to knit one of my patterns, but your size wasn’t covered, now’s your time! Feel free to sign up and I will come back to you as soon as I’m ready. ♥

Whiskygrandpajumper is a classic unisex sweater. It has an oversized shape, but incorporated decreases on the side give it a slightly V-shaped silhouette. It is knitted seamlessly top down and there are two different length versions described, a short one for women and a long one for men. Also the button placket can be adapted individually. So you can choose if you rather like to use buttons or snap buttons and the number of buttons is also variable - you can place 3 buttons evenly or just 2 to get a nice polo collar.
