The Jr Montmartre Jumper is the kids version of the romantic ladies Montmartre Jumper; a 1890s inspired bishop sleeve blouse with Parisian stripes and a feminine silhouette.

It is worked top down with contiguous sleeves.

The junior version has two sleeve options: one with puffed bishop sleeves like the ladies version, and one straighter sleeve with slight cinching at the cuff, for a more practical unisex option.
The bishop sleeves become gradually more voluminous for the older sizes, so that toddlers and young children don’t end up with their sleeves in their dinner and will still fit inside jackets and outdoor suits.

The fit is a bit roomier than the ladies version and designed to hit the hips rather than the waist to make it more practical, but there are instructions included for how to make it more fitted and cropped if an older child prefers it.

TWO VERSIONS: You can choose between puffed and not-puffed shoulders. The pink & cream one is knit with puffed shoulders in Sunday, and the bluegrey & cream one is knit without in Athena.
