I love designing simple, easy to knit patterns that might look complicated to the beginner but are very easy to knit. And for the experienced knitter? I like to create simple patterns as refreshers in-between complicated patterns or mindless knitting, to sit with and relax and switch off.
This jumper is the child’s version of the adults Gartan Jumper. Knitted in chunky it’s a super quick knit for an experienced knitter to get a garment ready for a child’s first winter or to keep them cosy with a cuddle in those chilly spring evenings. For a beginner it is one of those perfect my first garments.
And for the Child it is a great jumper to pull on and play in because it is oversized and there for gives freedom to run, play and enjoy being a child!
I’ve included two button on the collar to make it super easy to pull on over the head, another small detail that helps keep life simple and fun.
