Yuto Jumper & Hat Knitting Pattern (8ply)

Knit a modern, kimono-inspired pullover with bold garter stitch detailing and beautifully clean lines. The Yuto Jumper is designed for comfort, movement, and everyday wear — a timeless staple for babies and growing children.

Featuring statement centre garter panels, folded cuffs for extended wear, and a neat front placket with button or toggle closure, this design blends structure with softness. The coordinating Yuto Hat completes the look with matching textured detail.

The body can be worked flat on straight needles or in the round on circulars for flexibility.
