Tala Jumper - Knitting Pattern For Women in MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky by MillaMia

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

The Tala Jumper is a beautifully textured women's pullover sweater designed by MillaMia and knitted in the brand's signature MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky yarn. Rated as an intermediate skill level project, this cosy jumper is worked flat in separate pieces and then seamed together, making it an excellent project for knitters who are comfortable with basic construction techniques and ready to explore simple cable detailing. The super chunky weight of the yarn means the fabric grows quickly on the needles, delivering a satisfying and rewarding knit from cast-on to finishing.

Design Overview

The Tala Jumper is a single-design pattern featuring one classic pullover silhouette offered across a generous range of seven sizes, fitting chests from 76–82 cm (30–32 in) up to 137–142 cm (54–56 in). The finished chest measurements range from 101 cm (39¾ in) to 161 cm (63½ in), providing a relaxed, comfortable fit. The shoulder length ranges from 50 cm to 62 cm depending on size, and the sleeve length is a consistent 46 cm (18 in) across all sizes. The model featured in the pattern is a UK size 10 (US size 8), standing 173 cm (5'8"), and is shown wearing the second size.

Techniques Used

• Worked flat: All pieces — front, back, and sleeves — are knitted flat on straight or circular needles, producing individual panels that are later joined.
• Seamed construction: The finished pieces are sewn together, a traditional approach that adds structure and durability to the garment.
• Cable knitting: The pattern incorporates simple cable twists worked with a cable needle, adding tactile texture and visual interest to the design.
• Two-colour knitting: The jumper is worked using two contrasting shades of MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky, labelled Colour A and Colour B, creating a striking colour-block or striped effect depending on the colourway chosen.

Stitches Used

• Stocking stitch (stockinette stitch): The primary fabric stitch, worked by alternating knit rows on the right side and purl rows on the wrong side, creating a smooth, classic surface.
• C2Fk (Cable 2 Front Knit): Slip the next stitch onto a cable needle and hold at the front of the work, knit 1, then knit 1 from the cable needle — creating a left-leaning knit cable cross.
• C2Bp (Cable 2 Back Purl): Slip the next stitch onto a cable needle and hold at the back of the work, purl 1, then purl 1 from the cable needle — creating a right-leaning purl cable cross.
• Knit and purl stitches worked in combination to form the overall stitch pattern, with a tension of 10 stitches and 10 rows to 10 cm / 4 in over pattern using 15mm (US 17) needles.
