Description
The Whirlwind Jumper is a chunky, oversized sweater designed to make a statement with every twist and turn. Featuring bold cables, dramatic proportions, and billowy sleeves, it’ll feel like you’re wrapped in the eye of a very cozy storm. If you ever wanted to try using cables, don’t worry - I’ve got you covered with both written and chart instructions. Made with super bulky yarn, this jumper will be swept off your needles in no time!
