Almost there...

Almost There… is a beautifully crafted knitting pattern that is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down. This stylish jumper features a striped body crafted in Stockinette stitch, combined with a stunning chevron colorwork pattern before transitioning into a cozy bottom ribbing. The neck is expertly shaped by utilizing short rows to create an elegant silhouette. The yoke of the garment is constructed in the round with raglan increases, allowing for a perfect fit and comfortable wear.

Once the yoke shaping is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while underarm stitches are cleverly cast on. The body of the jumper is then worked in the round, culminating in a ribbed hem that incorporates light A-line shaping for added flair. After finishing the body, you’ll pick up the sleeve stitches once again to continue working the sleeves top down in the round until you reach the desired length. Since this jumper is worked from the top down, it’s advisable to try it on periodically to ensure the length and overall fit meet your preferences.

Both the length and width of the yoke are easily adjustable; simply add or reduce increases or underarm stitches as needed to achieve your ideal fit. This pattern encourages personalization, making it a great choice for knitters of varying skill levels.

The sample jumper is knit using Finkhof Merinowolle dünn, a luxurious 100% wool yarn, but alternative yarn options are provided below for flexibility. The finished sample is designed to be worn with approximately 2.75 inches (7 cm) of positive ease at the bust for a relaxed, comfortable style. Embrace the versatility of this beautiful knitting pattern and create a masterpiece that is uniquely yours!
