The Gertie Jumper is a slightly cropped, drop-sleeve granny jumper with some seriously large balloon sleeves! With a flattering crew neckline and polished ribbed cuffs, this humble granny stripe jumper is going to be your new favourite. It’s a really easy pattern, made from simple shapes that are seamed at the end to form the jumper - suitable for both beginners or more experienced makers who want a relaxing project!

This pattern was created to be a stash-busting project so every colour under the sun will work! Whether you choose a cohesive colour scheme or a total colour-splosion, it’ll be the happiest jumper around.

The garment is worked in horizontal rows, so it’s really easy to add or remove length to make this garment as short or as long as you’d like - both in the body and arms. Feel free to customise to suit your body and style, but remember any adjustments will affect the meterage requirements. It also has bonus instructions for a slimmer sleeve.

Bust sizes given as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X): 101 (110, 116, 124, 136, 144, 160, 168, 176) cm requiring 1270 (1359, 1491, 1573, 1755, 1892, 2120, 2288, 2459) metres of DK weight yarn.

This pattern is available in both UK & US terminology so you don’t have to translate stitches!
