Blue Star jumper

This delightful top-down knitted jumper features a seamless ribbed yoke expertly crafted in the round using a ribbing technique, beautifully shaped with thoughtful increases for an impeccable fit. The back of the jumper is elegantly risen, thanks to a couple of strategically placed short rows, ensuring maximal comfort and style. The body and sleeves are worked in smooth Stockinette stitch, concluding with a few rows of a classic 1x1 rib finish for a polished look. The sleeves of The Blue Star jumper are designed to be bracelet length, incorporating gentle decreases for a flattering silhouette.

The construction of this jumper begins with the yoke, which is knitted first to ensure a seamless join. Once the dividing for the body and sleeves is complete, the sleeves are placed on hold, allowing you to focus on the body of the jumper. After the body is fully completed, the sleeve stitches are transferred from hold back to the needle, and the sleeves are then knitted top down. This innovative design not only provides ease of wear but also highlights your knitting skills.

This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and comfortable top for any wardrobe. Whether you’re preparing for cooler months or looking for a cozy layer, this top-down knitted jumper will quickly become a favorite.
