I’ve always loved the classic vintage Victory Jumper. However I wanted an updated, modern, and wearable version. I loved the simple lace stitch, so I borrowed the lace stitch, wrote a brand new pattern sized for women from S - 5X and viola!…an ode to the classic vintage victory jumper! A simple lace pattern sets this otherwise ordinary red, white, and blue jumper apart from the rest. A wide rib, capped and puffed sleeve, and high neckline all work together for a sweater that is made for the modern woman.
