Inspired by a trace of frost on my window that looked exactly like a falling leaf, this is an easy bottom-up knit, worked flat and then seamed.

The jumper has a v-neck and skinny sleeves with twisted stitch leaf detailing on the cuffs and hem. Close fitting with emphatic waist shaping and 1”/ 2.5cm negative ease, this jumper flatters a curvy figure.

Instructions are both charted and written in full.

Suitable for beginners.
