This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern rated at an intermediate difficulty level, making it an excellent project for knitters who are comfortable with shaping, circular needles, and textured stitch patterns and are ready to take their skills to the next level.

Design Overview

The Prosecco jumper is defined by several carefully considered design details that work together to create a garment that is both stylish and flattering:

• Feminine waist shaping that follows the natural curve of the body for a tailored, elegant fit
• A square neckline that adds a modern, sophisticated edge to the overall silhouette
• Elbow-length sleeves that make this jumper a versatile layering piece across multiple seasons
• A flattering stitch texture that adds visual interest and depth without overwhelming the clean lines of the design

The pattern is available in a generous size range: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL, with finished bust measurements spanning 32 inches to 56 inches. The design is intended to be worn with 0 to 2 inches of positive ease, giving knitters the flexibility to choose a close-fitting or slightly relaxed silhouette depending on personal preference. Knitters are advised to choose the size closest to their natural bust measurement for minimal ease, or to size up for a more relaxed fit.

Yarn: Valley Yarns Northfield

This pattern is specifically written for Valley Yarns Northfield, a luxurious DK weight yarn with a fiber composition of 70% Merino Wool, 20% Baby Alpaca, and 10% Silk. Each ball contains 50 grams and 124 yards of yarn. The sample shown in the pattern is knitted in Color 28 Jade.

The fiber blend is particularly well-suited to this design. Merino wool provides exceptional stitch definition, elasticity, and warmth, while baby alpaca contributes a silky softness and a subtle halo that makes the finished fabric feel luxurious against the skin. The addition of silk lends a gentle sheen and drape, elevating the jumper from everyday knitwear to something truly special. Valley Yarns Northfield is noted for its beautiful stitch definition, which allows the textured stitch pattern used in Prosecco to show up clearly and crisp in the finished fabric.

Depending on size, the pattern requires 7 to 14 balls of Valley Yarns Northfield, broken down as follows:

• XS and S: 7 balls
• M: 8 balls
• L: 10 balls
• XL: 11 balls
• 2XL: 12 balls
• 3XL: 14 balls

Needles and Tools

The Prosecco pattern calls for two sizes of circular needles and double-pointed needles (DPNs) to accommodate the various sections of the construction:

• US 6 (4mm) circular needles in both 16-inch and 32–40 inch lengths, plus DPNs in the same size — used for the main body and sleeves at gauge
• US 5 (3.75mm) circular needles in both 16-inch and 32–40 inch lengths, plus DPNs in the same size — typically used for ribbing, edging, or the neckband
