Candy Cane Lane Jumper
The Candy Cane Lane Jumper is a charming, seamless knit sweater constructed from the top down in a raglan style. The pattern uses short rows to shape the upper back and includes a folded 1x1 ribbed neckline, along with matching ribbing on the bottom hem and sleeve cuffs. Once the sweater is finished it is decorated with candy canes using a simple embroidery technique that requires no experience or fancy tools, accompanied by a picture tutorial and youtube video to help guide you through the embroidery experience. It has a slightly looser fit of 4-6” 10-15cm of positive ease so your little one can grow into their sweater.
