Easy Knitting
Easy enough to be made as a knitter’s first garment, this Simple Jumper has minimal shaping for maximum effect, and with chunky 14ply yarn and thick needles it’s super quick to knit up. Two lengths are included, cropped and regular, for the fashionable and the warm, with full and tapered sleeve options. The pattern is detailed and includes extra notes to help the novice knitter. A snuggly thick jumper is just what you need to stay warm this winter – cast on today!
