Animal Antics Jumper
Introducing the "Animal Antics" jumper, a delightful knitting pattern inspired by one of my daughter's whimsical drawings. She described the playful creatures as random animals, emphasizing how they move and interact in their environment. This joyful design aims to capture the essence of childhood creativity. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will go directly toward funding more of her imaginative patterns, so your support helps inspire more creativity!
This engaging jumper is expertly knitted on a Brother standard gauge knitting machine using punchcard techniques and a ribber for added texture and flexibility. Each section of the jumper is knitted flat and carefully seamed to create a polished finish. The overall shape of the jumper features a modified drop shoulder design, complete with thoughtfully crafted shoulder shaping and easy-to-wear set-in sleeves. To enhance the fit, there is strategic underarm shaping, while the body is knitted straight for a classic look.
The jumper is finished with a stylish crew neck, cuffs, and bottom edge using a 1x1 ribbing technique, ensuring both comfort and visual appeal. To add an extra layer of interest and uniqueness to your creation, the sleeve colors have been cleverly reversed, offering a playful twist on the classic color-blocking style.
For this project, I recommend using Drops Fabel 4 ply yarn in two contrasting colors. I used a total of 250 g of each color, making it a lightweight and perfect choice for transitioning between seasons. Whether you're an experienced knitter or exploring new projects, the "Animal Antics" jumper is sure to be a cherished piece in any wardrobe.
