What to do when you’re simply obsessed with a stitch pattern? Keep using it!
After the cowl and the socks, here’s the jumper version of Into the Woods.

This little stitch pattern has been on my needles for over a year now, as I’ve been playing with it quite a bit, trying different versions of it, and adding some contrasting color to it.

The yoke version is a fairly simple top-down yoke jumper that features this stitch pattern that I love so much (a video tutorial is provided in the pattern to demonstrate how to knit this stitch).

The original sample features a gathered hemline which is quite flattering when the jumper is meant to be worn over high waisted skirts and dresses. But you can skip that part for a more “traditional look”.
