LORNA, jumper in cashmere or wool
LORNA Jumper Pattern - Introducing the stunning Lorna, an attractive long-sleeved jumper that perfectly blends style and comfort. This jumper features a rounded yoke crafted in a classic plain knitting technique combined with an elegant furrowed pattern, available in luxurious cashmere or high-quality wool. Designed to be slightly fitted without feeling tight, the Lorna jumper offers versatility, making it suitable for various body shapes and sizes. The welt, cuffs, yoke, and neck band of the jumper are all beautifully executed in the striking furrowed pattern, adding a touch of sophistication to this essential wardrobe piece.
The construction of the Lorna jumper starts with working in rounds until reaching the armholes, where you'll seamlessly join the stitches for the sleeves. The yoke is then completed in the round, creating a smooth, comfortable fit. This jumper is not only a delight to knit but is also visually stunning, whether you choose pure cashmere or a blend of wool and cashmere. With a required skill level of 4 (on a scale of 1 to 5), this pattern is perfect for those looking to challenge their knitting skills and create something truly special.
Yarn Details: To achieve the optimal look and feel of the Lorna jumper, we recommend using a 4-ply cashmere yarn. Each 50 g skein of yarn measures approximately 150 meters. Depending on your size, you will need a total of 300 - 350 - 400 - 450 - 500 g of yarn to complete your jumper.
Original Model: The original Lorna jumper was crafted using Cashmere 2/6 Nm, a luxurious 100% cashmere yarn sourced from Todd and Duncan in Kinross, Scotland, ensuring a high-quality finish that is both warm and lightweight.
Yarn Alternatives: If you’re looking for alternative yarn options, consider Valley Yarns Brodie, Rowan Pure Cashmere, or Debbie Bliss Luna for a similar luxurious experience. For those who prefer wool blends, great options include Sirdar Snuggly Baby Cashmere Merino DK and Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino.
