I knit this jumper to experiment with some ‘no name’ yarn I purchased. It turns out to be Aran/Bulky yarn and uses 6mm (US 8) needles.

Its warm and cosy and not complicated as I used self striping yarn.

Sleeves can be knit seamless with DPNS or circular needles or knitted flat and sewn up (this method is the one used in the pattern)

There is a split hem for comfort but instructions for closed hem too.
