Pattern Round-Up: Jumpers

I call them jumpers, but maybe you call them sweaters, or pullovers, or maybe even sloppy-joes! (that’s what my mum calls them, who knows where that started!? hee, hee, hee) Well, however you say it - we’ve done a little curation of 7 jumper patterns from our favourite indie designers, to get the sewjo flowing so you can wrap yourself up in something totally original, warm and snuggly this winter.

Stella

Skill level: Beginner

The Stella Sweater by Fibre Mood is a modern take on the standard jumper. This batwing shape gives it an interesting fall and super easy to make because there is no fussing with putting in separate sleeves - YAY!

This pattern is super quick and easy to sew-up and because of the interesting seam lines, lends itself to some creative colour-blocking.

The Jarrah

Skill level: Beginner

The Jarrah Sweater by Megan Nielsen is a great all-rounder. The Jarrah has so many variations and the ability to mix and match. It also looks great made up in all kinds of weight knit, depending on the look you are going for.

This pattern is nice and straight-forward to sew-up (especially if you choose to make one without the tie front option - that’s a teensy bit fiddly, if your not used to sewing with stretch or knit fabrics).

Talvikki

Skill level: Confident Beginner

The Talvikki Sweater by Named Patterns is a really interesting design and has lots of lovely details. The most notable are the elegant darts that form the funnel neck and the deep side vents - love ♥.

Best to be made up in a knit with some structure to it - they suggest sweatshirting, bouclé, or lightweight neoprene with at least 40% stretch.

Jumper No. 810

Skill level: Intermediate

The #810 Jumper by Grasser has such a unique and interesting silhouette for a jumper. This construction of the sleeves is really clever, including that shoulder shelf, topped off with a beautiful slashed-envelope neckline.

This pattern is a little bit trickier to get your head around than a “regular” kind of jumper - but definitely worth the effort.

The Lennox

Skill level: Confident Beginner

The Lennox Sweatshirt by Tessuti Fabrics is so FUN! They have pre-chopped sections on this pattern so you can get stuck-in straight away with mixing and matching fabrics, prints and colours ….and we are loving the chunky elastic cuffs!

The Lennox is a casual loose fit and comes with the option to make it plain (without the shapes) with plain cuffs (without the elastic).

Monroe Turtleneck

Skill level: Beginner

The Monroe Turtleneck by Tessuti Fabrics as well. It’s a fantastic wardrobe staple and FREE to download on their website.

Another nice and easy one to construct, and the turtleneck is just right. Make it up in a light weight viscose jersey or something more substantial and cozy like a chenille knit - ohhh yeah.

Ada Hoody

Skill level: Confident Beginner

The Ada Hoody by Schnittchen Patterns is the absolute Classic Jumper/Hoodie pattern. They are both very traditional in style and fit, including kangaroo pocket and two piece hood.

While this is pretty classic pattern its got a little twist when it comes to the sleeves and yoke seams - you can play around with interesting fabrics and colour-blocking too!
