Maj Jumper
Maj Jumper is worked top down with a stranded colorwork yoke and German Short Rows to shape the neckline.
The body and sleeves are separated after the yoke and worked in the round.
The colorwork chart is written for size 3XL. Smaller sizes skip selected rounds to adjust the yoke depth while maintaining the overall motif placement.
The sweater is designed with positive ease and a relaxed fit.
