The Lekker Jumper Knitting Pattern is all about effortless comfort and timeless style. This modern sweater knitting pattern is perfect if you love simple, cozy projects with a relaxed, Nordic-inspired look.

Knit with the softest Drops Air yarn held double, the jumper is warm but lightweight, giving you a cloud-like fabric that’s fun to knit and easy to wear. The airy texture makes it perfect for layering on a crisp fall day or keeping cozy indoors.

The name “lekker”—from Dutch and Afrikaans—means nice, pleasant, enjoyable. That’s exactly what this pattern is: a beginner-friendly sweater project you’ll enjoy knitting and a timeless jumper you’ll reach for again and again.

With its relaxed fit and clean lines, the Lekker Jumper is a versatile piece for everyday wear—whether you’re a first-time sweater knitter or looking for your next go-to handmade favorite.
