About The Friday Jumper is the perfect cozy delightful chunky knit sweater pattern that is perfect for those looking to create a stylish and warm addition to their wardrobe. The Friday Jumper has a cute double collar, set in sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hem and a cozy fit. The Friday Jumper is a top down knitting pattern, starting at the back neck and picking up stitches for the fronts before joining at the underarms. The front and back are then joined to work in the round continued down the body. The body length is customisable within the pattern so you can go for long or cropped. I went to a semi cropped look in my sample. The sleeves are worked top down also using short rows to create a set in sleeve look. This is perfect if you're looking for a bit more of a challenging knit to learn new skills without committing too much time!
