CATANIA, jumper in cotton or wool
Introducing our lovely, versatile jumper pattern, perfect for knitting enthusiasts looking for a stylish yet casual piece. This jumper can be crafted in either wool or cotton, allowing you to tailor your project to the fabric of your choice. The original model features a relaxed, loose-fitting collar, but as shown in the photo crafted by a talented friend, the design can be adapted to incorporate a smaller, more fitted collar for those who prefer a contemporary touch. The fit of the body is beautifully comfortable—not too tight, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. The perfectly shaped sleeves, designed as set-in sleeves, enhance the overall appeal of this jumper, making it a wardrobe essential that you won’t want to miss.
Both versions of this pattern—wool and cotton—are included in the same set of instructions, ensuring you have everything you need to create your perfect jumper. Please note that there are slight variations in the measurements between the cotton and wool models, as cotton tends to expand a bit with regular use, giving your final product a slightly different fit over time.
The original cotton model was beautifully created using Cablè yarn from the renowned Campolmi Roberto Filati in Florence, Italy, ensuring a high-quality finish that you will appreciate.
Yarn Alternatives: If you’re exploring different fiber options, we recommend several fantastic alternatives for the cotton version, including Lana Grossa Cotone, Schoeller und Stahl Limone, Cascade Ultra Pima Fine, Schachenmayr Catania, and Rico Essentials Cotton DK. Each option offers a unique texture and durability, perfect for this lovely casual jumper.
For the wool version, the original model was crafted from Baby, 100% merino wool sourced from Campolmi Roberto Filati, providing exceptional softness and warmth.
Wool Yarn Alternatives: Consider these premium alternatives for your wool jumper: Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift, ROWAN Fine Tweed, and LANG YARNS Merino 200 Bebe. Each of these yarns brings its own unique charm to the design, ensuring your finished product is both cozy and stylish.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, this jumper pattern is a must-have addition to your collection. Happy knitting!
