The Esther Crew Neck Jumper is oversized and cropped with big balloon sleeves and is a great stash buster; the perfect jumper in my opinion! Made using just 2 stitches and simple construction, it’s a great garment for beginners. Top tip – if you don’t have any aran in your stash, double up DK instead (just be sure to check your gauge!) This pattern can be easily adapted to suit your body size and shape. Please see notes on the photos to see how different people have adapted it.
