OVERVIEW:

MAELLE JUMPER features stripes with smooth and textured stitches for a simple, enjoyable colorwork project. The wide raglan and oversized fit create a stylish look.

CONSTRUCTION:

MAELLE JUMPER is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round with raglan increases. The garment begins with a ribbed collar, which is folded to create a folded neckband. Short rows are then worked to shape the back yoke for an improved fit. The yoke continues in the round with raglan increases until the desired yoke depth is reached. At the underarm, the work is separated to the body and sleeves. The body is worked in the round down to the hem. The sleeves are then worked in the round to the cuffs.
