Child’s Jumper Knitting Pattern Ages 1–4

Create a timeless child’s jumper using only straight knitting needles.

KNTJMP 001 is a clear, easy-to-follow digital knitting pattern for a classic plain jumper in four sizes, from 1 to 4 years. Designed especially for knitters who prefer traditional flat knitting, every piece is worked separately on straight needles and sewn together—no circular needles are required.

The simple stocking-stitch design makes a lovely everyday jumper and provides the perfect blank canvas for your choice of colour, stripes, embroidery or other personal touches. Neat ribbed cuffs, hem and neckline give it a comfortable, traditional finish.

The neckband is also knitted flat. One shoulder is left open while the stitches are picked up and worked, then the final shoulder and neckband seam are joined during assembly.
