Hazel Jumper

Discover the charm of the Hazel Jumper, a beautifully designed knit that starts at the back and works its way down from the top to the base of the armholes. This delightful hoodie requires you to pick up and knit both front sections separately, allowing for creative flexibility in your project. Each front is crafted from the top down to the edge of the neck, ensuring a snug fit. Once both pieces are complete, they are seamlessly joined together, with the front knitted down to the armholes for a smooth transition. After connecting the front and back, you'll continue to knit in the round all the way down to the hem, giving your jumper a polished finish. To complete this elegant design, simply pick up and knit for the sleeves, creating the perfect cozy garment for layering in cooler weather.

For optimal results, it’s essential to check your gauge. Using a 6 mm (US 10) needle, aim for a gauge of 15 stitches by 20 rows to achieve a 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4”) measurement in stockinette stitch after blocking. Alternatively, if you're incorporating the pattern stitch, a gauge of 17 stitches by 20 rows is recommended for the same dimensions.

The Hazel Jumper is designed with a recommended ease of 10 cm (4”) or more, allowing for a comfortable and relaxed fit that looks great on every body shape. When selecting yarn, we recommend using Gepard Puno, which consists of 35% Baby Alpaca and 68% Baby Alpaca, combined with 10% Nylon. This luxurious yarn offers exceptional warmth and softness, with a meter gauge of 110m/120yd per 50g. Depending on your size, you'll need 7 (8, 9, 10, 11) balls of color 11, equating to approximately 770 (880, 995, 1100, 1210) meters (840, 960, 1080, 1200, 1320) yards of yarn.

Whether you're an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge or a beginner ready to expand your skills, the Hazel Jumper is the perfect addition to your pattern collection.
