The Branch Jumper is a sweater in multi colour knitting with a high neck and a pretty yoke with increases branching out. The pattern consists of two colours, one of which can be varied along the way.

The pattern offers plenty of opportunity to use leftovers from the yarn stash. As the primary yarn is carried through all the way, it provides stability in the knitting tension and thus allows for a little variation in the secondary yarn.

The sweater is knitted top-down.
