Kin Jumper is a crocheted with a striking two-row repeat. With understated Dolman-style sleeves, it’s inspired by those batwing jumpers of the 1980s, with a more fitted style.
The crossed treble stitch rows create an open lacey texture, while the double slip stitch rows create vertical lines that give the jumper structure and a sophisticated look.
This 16-page pattern is both written and charted. It also comes with a modification document, detailing where you can make row and stitch changes to the pattern and the likely effect it will have on yarn usage.
