Star Light

Introducing the Starlight Jumper, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern that features two delightful variations of a seam-free yoked jumper. This charming design includes a colour-work stripe that is deceptively easy to knit, as it consists of just one two-coloured row repeated five times. One of the best aspects of this jumper is the reduced number of yarn ends to sew in, as yarns can be conveniently carried upwards throughout the project. For added convenience, there is an optional neck fastening to facilitate easy dressing for little ones.

The Starlight Jumper pattern comes complete with clear instructions, including a helpful chart, and sizes range from 6 months to 9 years, making it perfect for children of different ages. For this project, I used Drops Cotton Merino for the eye-catching star design, while the striped version is crafted from a pure wool superwash, making it perfect for using up small amounts of leftover yarn. This flexibility allows knitters to experiment with their own unique colour combinations and personal style. You can use any DK yarn that has a gauge of 22 x 28 stitches over a 10 cm swatch with this versatile pattern.

To assist you further, I have provided suggested colours and the recommended amounts of yarn from the popular Debbie Bliss Rialto DK collection. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, the Starlight Jumper is an enjoyable project that you and your little ones will cherish.
