What Is Being Made

The Paysage Jumper is a classic pullover sweater — referred to in British English as a jumper — featuring a relaxed, comfortable silhouette with approximately 4–6 inches of positive ease. This means the finished garment is intentionally designed to be worn loosely rather than fitted to the body. The pattern offers eight sizes, with finished bust measurements ranging from 37 to 58 inches, making it inclusive across a wide range of body types.

One distinctive design detail is that the back of the garment is 1½ inches longer than the front, a thoughtful construction choice that accommodates natural posture and movement. Back length ranges from 19½ to 21½ inches depending on the chosen size. The sample shown in the pattern photography is knitted in size 40 inches.

Construction Techniques

The Paysage Jumper is constructed using a bottom-up, worked flat, seamed method. This is a traditional approach to sweater construction that many knitters find approachable and satisfying:

• Bottom-up construction means knitting begins at the lower hem edge and works upward toward the shoulders, allowing you to try on the piece as you go and adjust length easily.
• Worked flat means the individual pieces — back, front, and sleeves — are knitted back and forth in rows on straight needles rather than in the round. This produces a fabric with distinct right-side and wrong-side rows.
• Seamed construction means the finished flat pieces are joined together using seaming techniques such as mattress stitch or backstitch. Seamed garments often have excellent structure and drape, and the seams themselves can add stability to the fabric.

The back piece is cast on using straight needles in the main color (MC), beginning with four rows of garter stitch at the lower edge before transitioning into the stripe sequence. Stitch markers are used to denote the end of the side slits and the beginning of the armholes, keeping construction organized and precise.

Stripe Sequence and Colorwork

A key design element of the Paysage Jumper is its repeating two-color stripe sequence, worked entirely in Stockinette stitch. The stripe repeat is simple and rhythmic:

• 2 rows in the contrast color (CC)
• 4 rows in the main color (MC)

This six-row repeat creates a subtle, elegant striped texture across the body of the sweater. The stripe sequence is carried consistently throughout the garment, giving it a cohesive, polished look. Because the stripes are worked in simple horizontal rows rather than intarsia or Fair Isle colorwork, there is no need to manage floats or bobbins — making this a very manageable colorwork project even for those newer to working with two colors.

Stitches Used

• Garter Stitch – Used at the cast-on edge of the back piece (4 rows), creating a neat, non-rolling hem edge.
• Stockinette Stitch (St st) – The primary stitch pattern used throughout the body of the jumper. Worked by knitting on right-side rows and purling on wrong-side rows when working flat, Stockinette creates a smooth, classic fabric surface that showcases the stripe sequence beautifully.
