Difficulty
2/5. The jumper takes approximately 3 weeks to make.

The jumper is worked from the back.
We start by casting on the top of the back part, and use German short rows to shape the dropped shoulders, knitting back and forth in a knit stitch on the right side and a purl stitch on the wrong side.
Then we move onto the left shoulder, and work increases alongside the neck to shape the neckline.
Once that’s finished, we move onto the right shoulder, work increases there. When we reach the same length as the left shoulder, we connect both of the shoulders to shape the front of the jumper, casting on stitches in between each shoulder, and continuing to knit until we reach the length that reaches to the bottom of our armholes.
We then connect it with the back part as well, and continue in a round until we reach the length where we’d like the bottom rib stitching to begin. From there, we work in a rib stitch, and finish the hem with an Italian bind off.
Once the body of the jumper is done, we move onto the sleeves and work these in a knit stitch on a circular needle, with decreases for a better fit, and finish with a rib stitch and Italian bind off. Last part is the mock neck, which is worked in a rib stitch with decreases in the back.
