Ruby Jumper
Ruby Jumper is a relaxed, oversized sweater featuring bold geometric colourwork created using the intarsia technique. Worked in separate pieces from the bottom up, it combines simple stocking stitch with striking diagonal panels before being finished with neatly picked-up sleeves and a cosy folded ribbed neckband. Designed in Kremke Color Crush, it creates a lightweight yet warm garment with effortless everyday style.

Yarn & colours
Yarn: Kremke Color Crush (100 g = 180 m)

Yarn B (contrast): Glitch Mode 106 – 5 (5) 6 (6) 6 (7) 7 (7) balls
The two-colour intarsia panels use the contrast colour heavily, so the contrast dominates the yardage.
Needles & notions
4.5 mm (US 7) and 5 mm (US 8) straight needles
4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle, 40 cm / 16”, for neckband
5 mm (US 8) circular needle, 40 cm / 16”, for sleeves

- Stitch markers
- Stitch holders
Gauge
17 sts x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4” x 4” on 5 mm (US 8) needles in stocking stitch, blocked
Check your gauge before starting; the oversized fit depends on hitting this tension.
Construction notes
Bottom-up, worked in separate pieces (front, back, then sleeves picked up and worked down or up as specified in the pattern).
Simple stocking stitch forms the base, with bold diagonal intarsia panels creating the geometric colourwork.
Sleeves are neatly picked up and finished to match the body.
Neckband is a folded ribbing worked on a short circular needle for a clean, cosy finish.
Ideal for knitters ready to try or refine their intarsia technique in a modern, graphic sweater.
