Bell Beck Jumper

This delightful garter stitch jumper is the ideal choice for beginners or anyone knitting their first baby garment after a break from knitting. Many new knitters, often returning after 30 or 40 years, visit Purl & Jane’s Skipton studio, eager to rekindle their passion for this timeless craft. This charming jumper is designed with ease in mind—it consists of just two simple squares. Once you've completed these squares and regained your knitting confidence, the straightforward increasing on the sleeves will feel like a breeze.

As a testament to its appeal, this pattern has become a favorite and is widely popular among both novice and experienced knitters alike.

Garter stitch, one of my personal favorites, is often underrated and dismissed as “too basic.” However, it’s precisely this simplicity that renders it so strikingly beautiful, particularly when crafted with an exquisite yarn. The texture created by garter stitch provides an inviting warmth that is perfect for baby garments.

Whether you're creating this jumper as a thoughtful gift or as a special keepsake for your own little one, you'll appreciate how rewarding this straightforward pattern can be. Embrace the satisfaction of knitting a beautiful piece that highlights the elegance of simplicity in each stitch, and join the growing community of knitters who appreciate the art of garter stitch!
