MARTINA – A Charming Knitted Jersey for Your Bairn
Introducing the MARTINA jersey, an exquisite and stylish garment designed for your little one, crafted in DK-weight cotton. This delightful pattern features a convenient button closure on the left shoulder, making it both practical and fashionable. The design is inspired by traditional fishermen's guernseys, adding a timeless aesthetic to your child's wardrobe.
The body of the MARTINA jersey is worked in rounds up to the armholes, ensuring a seamless and comfortable fit. The drop-shoulder sleeves come with a thoughtful gusset to enhance arm movement, offering your child the freedom to play. You can work the sleeves flat by picking up stitches along the armhole and knitting towards the cuffs, or alternatively, knit the sleeves separately and join them by sewing. This flexibility allows you to choose the method that suits your knitting style best.
The textured pattern is easy to follow with a handy chart, and for those who prefer to work flat, detailed instructions are provided in the pattern.
