Simple Childs 8 Ply Jumper

Easy Knit Are you looking a pattern for a simple childs 8 ply jumper?

Simple Childs Jumper This pattern is rated as an easy knit as it has very little shaping and is knitted in stocking stitch.

The jumper consists of four pieces, the back and the front are the same as are both of the sleeves.

This kind of neckline is often called a boat neck and is straight rib with a little shaping for the shoulders.

The style of neck on this simple childs 8 ply jumper is particular good for small children as the opening at the neck is quite wide making it easy to get the jumper on and off over their heads.

The jumper in the picture is a size two and was knitted using Carnival 8 ply pure wool.

The actual garment is more purple than blue as it appears in the photo!
