Blousy Jumper & Cardigan Knitting Pattern (AP1418)

Create two versatile wardrobe staples with this stylish knitting pattern featuring both a relaxed V-neck jumper and an open-front cardigan. Designed with a softly draping silhouette and blousy sleeves, these timeless garments are perfect for layering through the seasons.

Both designs are worked flat in separate pieces using smooth stocking stitch, with minimal armhole shaping for an easy-to-wear drop-shoulder fit. The jumper features a flattering V-neck finished with a garter stitch edging, while the cardigan is completed with ribbed front bands and neckline for a clean, contemporary finish.

Photographed in Alpaca Yarns Whisper DK, a luxurious mohair and silk blend that creates a soft, lightweight fabric with a beautiful halo.
