BABY STRIPES JUMPER
Go for a casual coastal look for the under- ve set with an easy yarn cake jumper. By Hannah Cross.
This charming jumper is crocheted in one piece in the round, so if you’re not a fan of seams, Hannah Cross has just made your day! You’ll be working in a fab textured stitch for extra interest, and the yarn even changes the colours for you. Result.
NOTES
The Jumper is worked from the top down in continuous rounds without joining with a ss, unless stated otherwise. You may find it helpful to mark the first st of the round with a stitch marker, moving it up as you work. Always work stitches into the back loop unless stated otherwise.
