-------------------------------------------------------

JUMPER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:

The jumper is worked in the round as far as the armholes. The body is divided and each piece
nished separately, back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round with double pointed
needles or short circular needle. An edge is crocheted around the neck, around the bottom of the
jumper and the sleeves to nish.
BODY:
Cast on 224-256-256-288-320-352 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and Flora. Work 1
RIDGE – read description above. Then work A.1 over all stitches (= 28-32-32-36-40-44 repeats of 8
stitches).
Work A.1 until the piece measures 31-32-33-34-35-36 cm from the cast-on edge. Now cast off for
the armholes on the next round as follows: Cast off the rst 4 stitches, work the next 104-120-120-
136-152-168 stitches, cast off 8 stitches, work the next 104-120-120-136-152-168 stitches and
cast off the last 4 stitches. Cut the strand. Front and back pieces are nished separately, working
back and forth.

FRONT PIECE:
= 104-120-120-136-152-168 stitches. Continue with A.1 as before. Cast off for the armholes at the
beginning of each row from both the right and wrong side as follows: 3 stitches 1-2-2-2-2-2 times, 2
stitches 1-2-1-3-4-6 times and 1 stitch 0-1-0-2-6-7 times = 94-98-104-108-112-118 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 47-49-51-53-55-57 cm. Now cast off the middle 36-38-
42-44-46-48 stitches for the neck and each shoulder is nished separately. Cast off on each row
from the neck as follows: 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2 times = 25-26-27-28-29-31 stitches on the
shoulder. Continue with pattern as before. Cast off when the piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62
cm (= 21-22-23-24-25-26 cm from the bottom of the armhole). Work the other shoulder in the
same way.

BACK PIECE:
= 104-120-120-136-152-168 stitches. Continue with A.1 as before. Cast off for the armholes at the
beginning of each row from both the right and wrong side as follows: 3 stitches 1-2-2-2-2-2 times, 2
stitches 1-2-1-3-4-6 times and 1 stitch 0-1-0-2-6-7 times = 94-98-104-108-112-118 stitches.
Continue working until the piece measures 50-52-54-56-58-60 cm. Now cast off the middle 42-44-
48-50-52-54 stitches for the neck and each shoulder is nished separately. On the next row cast off
1 stitch from the neck = 25-26-27-28-29-31 stitches on the shoulder. Continue with pattern as
before. Cast off when the piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm (= 21-22-23-24-25-26 cm from
the bottom of the armhole). Work the other shoulder in the same way.

SLEEVES:
The sleeves are worked in the round as far as the sleeve cap, then nished back and forth.
Cast on 80-88-88-96-104-112 stitches with double pointed needles size 3 mm and Flora. Insert 1
marker thread at the beginning of the round. Work 1 ridge then work A.1 over all stitches (= 10-11-
11-12-13-14 repeats of 8 stitches). AT THE SAME TIME, when the piece measures 6-6-6-5-5-5 cm,
increase 1 stitch on either side of the marker thread – read INCREASE TIP. Increase every 2½-4-1-
1-1-1 cm a total of 4-3-6-7-6-5 times = 88-94-100-110-116-122 stitches. When the sleeve
measures 16-15-12-13-12-10 cm cast off 8 stitches mid-under the sleeve (= 4 stitches on each side
of the marker thread). The piece is now nished back and forth. Continue with A.1 and cast off at
the beginning of each row from both the right and wrong side as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches
2-2-2-3-3-3 times, 1 stitch 8-10-12-10-11-16 times. Then cast off 2 stitches on each side until the
piece measures 25-25-24-25-25-25 cm, cast off 3 stitches 1 time on each side and 4 stitches 1 time
on each side, then cast off the remaining stitches. The sleeve measures approx. 26-26-25-26-26-26
cm. Work the other sleeve in the same way.
