GIULIANA, elegant silk jumper
Introducing the GIULIANA - your perfect knitting project for a stylish, versatile jumper or T-shirt! Crafted in plain knitting with luxurious silk, this design features delicate narrow colored stripes that add a touch of personality. The jumper is thoughtfully tailored to be slightly fitted for a flattering look without feeling tight—an optional feature for those who prefer a more relaxed fit. The elegant welt, cuff, and neck band are created in garter stitch, ensuring comfort and stretch.
The sleeves of the GIULIANA jumper are designed with a comfortable length, resting just above the wrists, making it an ideal layering piece you can wear alone or underneath your favorite pullover during the colder months. This accurate written pattern offers clear instructions, allowing you to knit in the round until you reach the armholes. If you prefer, there are also instructions included for working the jumper flat. The versatile pattern can be beautifully executed in cotton or adorned with plain colors, appealing to knitters of all styles and ages.
With a skill level ranging from 1 (beginner) to 5 (advanced), this pattern is rated at 3—perfect for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills. Throughout the pattern, all measurements are provided in both centimeters and inches for your convenience.
Tension/gauge in stocking stitch (washed sample): 26 stitches on 3 mm needles = 10 cm (4 in). It’s important to note that silk yarn can expand with use; please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
For your convenience, we recommend several alternative silk yarns to achieve the best results, including Seta from Domoras, Knit One Crochet Too Cozette (a silk/cotton blend), Lang Yarns Mulberry Silk, and Malabrigo Mora.
