The dandelion wishes jumper is inspired by springtime, as the warmer days arrive and the flowers begin to bloom. It is worked in Dandelion stitch, a type of drop stitch, 1x1 rib and stocking stitch. The jumper has plenty of ease giving it a relaxed fit, with wide balloon sleeves and a crew neck collar. Can’t wait to get started?
