Novalie Textured Jumper – Knitting Pattern for Women in MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky

The Novalie Textured Jumper is a women's pullover knitting pattern designed by MillaMia, worked in the brand's own MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky yarn. This eye-catching jumper features a bold two-colour textured stitch pattern that creates a striking, modern aesthetic, making it a standout wardrobe piece for cooler seasons. Despite its impressive visual impact, the design is approachable for knitters at the improving or intermediate skill level, as the texture is achieved entirely through combinations of knit and purl stitches — no complex cables or specialist techniques required.

What Is Being Made

The finished garment is a women's textured pullover jumper with set-in or standard seamed construction. It is designed with a cropped-to-standard length silhouette — the pattern notes that those who prefer not to show midriff can style it over a simple white shirt or tee underneath. The jumper is available in four sizes, fitting bust measurements of 82–86 cm, 92–97 cm, 102–107 cm, and 112–117 cm (32–34 in, 36–38 in, 40–42 in, and 44–46 in). Actual chest measurements of the finished garment range from 104 cm to 140 cm, and the length to shoulder ranges from 45 cm to 51 cm, with a fixed sleeve length of 45 cm.

Techniques Used

• Seamed construction: The jumper is assembled by seaming individual pieces together, a traditional approach that gives structure and durability to the finished garment.
• Worked flat: All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth in rows) on a pair of straight needles, making this pattern well suited to knitters who prefer not to work in the round.
• Two-colour knitting: The design uses two contrasting yarn colours — Grey Day (404) as the main colour (A) and Sunshine (424) as the contrast colour (B) — to create the striking textured effect. The pattern notes that colour contrast is key to the modern look of the finished piece.

Stitches Used

• Knit and purl stitches: The textured pattern is built entirely from knit and purl combinations, making it accessible to anyone who has mastered the two fundamental knitting stitches.
• Textured stitch pattern: The interplay of knit and purl stitches across the fabric creates a dimensional, tactile surface that is visually impressive yet technically straightforward to execute.

Materials Required

• Yarn: MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky — a super chunky weight yarn, exclusively available at LoveCrafts. The pattern calls for:
  • 15 (17:18:20) x 50g balls in Grey Day (404) — Colour A (main colour)
  • Six balls in Sunshine (424) — Colour B (contrast colour)
• Needles: A pair of 12mm (US 17) straight knitting needles.
• Tension/Gauge: 10 stitches and 12 rows to 10 cm / 4 in over the stitch pattern using 12mm needles. Achieving correct tension is important for accurate sizing.

Who Is This Pattern For?

The Novalie Textured Jumper pattern is ideal for improving knitters who are comfortable with basic knit and purl stitches and are ready to tackle a seamed garment with a two-colour textured design. The super chunky yarn weight means the project knits up quickly, providing satisfying progress and a bold finished result. It is a particularly rewarding pattern for those looking to build confidence with garment construction and colourwork without the complexity of stranded or intarsia techniques.
