Description
The Zero to Hero Jumper is a chunky, oversized, scrappy, zero-waste jumper that is truly one of a kind! This pattern exists to give purpose to the pile of scrap yarn you’ve been hoarding all these months (maybe even years) and keep you cozy. Made with bulky yarn, you’ll have a new Zero to Hero Jumper in no time flat (lol get it, because Hercul…ok sorry).
