I am pleased to announce that the Simon’s Jumper pattern has now been released and is available from my Ravelry shop.
I’ve always wanted to knit my own Christmas jumper. Yet every year I’ve been too distracted by other knitting projects to do so.
But when my little boy’s first Christmas was in sight I was determined to create one for him.
This is a simple classic jumper design. Worked from the top-down, it utilises the raglan shaping to create a short button band. Enough to gently ease a baby’s head through and then secure after.
Without the duplicate stitch patterning, this is a jumper that knits up quickly. Perfect for a last minute baby gift. With the duplicate stitch patterning the design possibilities are endless and easily allow for personalisation for an extra special baby gift.
