Eve Jumper by Georgia Farrell – Pattern Summary

About This Pattern

The Eve Jumper is an elegant knitted sweater designed by Georgia Farrell and published by Rowan (pattern reference RM006-00011-EN). Available as a downloadable PDF, this intermediate-level pattern produces a classic, refined pullover jumper with a shaped neckline and shoulder shaping. The design is notable for its luxurious yarn combination, blending the airy halo of Rowan Kidsilk Haze with the crisp stitch definition of Rowan Summerlite 4 Ply, creating a fabric with beautiful depth, subtle shimmer, and a delicate, lightweight drape.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces a classic pullover jumper worked in a straightforward construction. The garment features:

• A shaped front neck with stitches held on a holder for a neat neckband finish
• Shoulder shaping with cast-off stitches for a clean, structured shoulder line
• A back and front worked separately and seamed together
• A neckband picked up from held stitches for a polished, professional finish

The jumper is sized to fit a wide range of bust measurements, from 71–76 cm (28–30 in) up to 152–157 cm (60–62 in), with actual garment bust measurements ranging from 92 cm (36 in) to 172 cm (67½ in) across nine sizes, making it an exceptionally inclusive pattern suitable for a broad range of body types.

Yarn and Materials

This design uses two specific Rowan yarns held together or used in combination to achieve its distinctive look and feel:

• Rowan Kidsilk Haze – a lace-weight yarn made from a luxurious blend of kid mohair and silk, known for its soft, cloud-like halo and subtle sheen. Two colourways are specified:
  • Colour A: KSH Eve Green 684 (25 g balls)
  • Colour B: KSH Cream 634 (25 g balls)
• Rowan Summerlite 4 Ply – a 4-ply weight cotton yarn that provides structure, stitch clarity, and a cool, breathable quality that complements the softness of the Kidsilk Haze beautifully.

The quantity of Kidsilk Haze required ranges from 2 balls up to 3 balls per colourway depending on the size selected. Knitters should refer to the full PDF for complete yardage and ball quantities for the Summerlite 4 Ply component.

The combination of a lace-weight mohair-silk blend with a 4-ply cotton is a hallmark of many Rowan designs, producing a fabric that is lightweight yet surprisingly warm, with excellent stitch definition beneath a soft halo effect.

Techniques Used

The Eve Jumper employs a range of knitting techniques suited to an intermediate-level knitter. Those new to garment construction may wish to practise some of these skills before beginning:

• Flat knitting – the back and front panels are worked flat (back and forth in rows) rather than in the round
• Shoulder shaping – achieved through casting off remaining stitches at the shoulder edge for a neat, angled shoulder line
• Front neck shaping – the neckline is shaped by dividing stitches and working each side separately, with shapings reversed on the second side
• Stitch holders – centre neck stitches are placed on a holder and later picked up for the neckband, a standard technique in seamless neckband construction
• Rejoining yarn – working the second side of the neck by rejoining yarn with the right side facing, a key skill for symmetrical garment shaping
• Seaming
