Yuto Jumper Knitting Pattern

🧶 Yuto Jumper — Baby & Toddler Knit Pattern

Soft. Snuggly. Absolutely adorable.
The Yuto Jumper is a kimono-inspired pullover with gentle lines and a squishy garter panel detail — designed for everyday play, cuddles, and all the “just one more row” moments.

Knit flat or in the round (your choice!), this is a thoughtfully constructed piece that grows beautifully with little ones. With folded cuffs for extra length and generous ease for layering, it’s the comfy wardrobe staple every tiny adventurer needs.

Pair it with the matching Yuto Hat for the full “cute overload” effect.
