Designs Included in Pattern 9622

Design One: V Neck Jumper

The first design is a V Neck Jumper, a timeless and flattering style that suits a wide range of body shapes. The V neckline adds elegance and visual length, making it a versatile wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down. This version is slightly longer in the body than the Round Neck version.

• To Fit Bust: 81/86 cm (32/34 in) up to 122/127 cm (48/50 in)
• Actual Measurement: 98 cm (38½ in) to 140 cm (55 in) — includes positive ease for a relaxed fit
• Full Length to Shoulder: 60 cm (23½ in) to 71 cm (28 in) depending on size
• Sleeve Length: 8 cm (3¼ in) to 10 cm (4 in) — a short, neat sleeve

Design Two: Round Neck Jumper

The second design is a Round Neck Jumper, offering a classic crew-neck silhouette. Slightly shorter in the body than the V Neck version, it is equally straightforward to knit and shares the same easy construction approach. The round neck finish gives a clean, casual look that works beautifully with the subtle shimmer of Moonbeam DK.

• To Fit Bust: 81/86 cm (32/34 in) up to 122/127 cm (48/50 in)
• Actual Measurement: 98 cm (38½ in) to 140 cm (55 in)

• Sleeve Length: 24 cm (9½ in) to 26 cm (10¼ in)

Knitting Techniques and Construction

Both jumpers are constructed using a straightforward flat knitting method, worked in separate pieces — back, front, and sleeves — which are then seamed together. This traditional construction is ideal for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with basic shaping and seaming. The pattern is described as easy knit, meaning the stitch patterns themselves are simple and repetitive, making the knitting process enjoyable and meditative.

Stitches Used

• Rib Stitch (K1, P2 / P1, K2 rib): Used for the welts and cuffs. This particular rib — a K1, P2 rib on the right side and P1, K2 rib on the wrong side — creates a neat, elasticated edge that helps the garment hold its shape at the hem and sleeve openings. The rib is worked over 8 rows before transitioning to the main fabric.
• Stocking Stitch (Stockinette Stitch): The main body fabric is worked in classic stocking stitch — knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side — producing a smooth, even surface that showcases the shimmer of the Moonbeam DK yarn beautifully.
• Decreases: Evenly spaced decreases are worked at the end of the rib section to adjust the stitch count before beginning the main body, ensuring a smooth transition and correct tension.

Shaping Details

• Standard armhole shaping and neckline shaping are included for both designs
