Rocha Jumper by Quail Studio – Knitting Pattern Summary (Rowan Kidsilk Haze & Kid Classic)

The Rocha Jumper is a beautifully crafted knitting pattern by Quail Studio, offered as a downloadable PDF under reference RM007-00003-DEP. Designed for beginner knitters, this pattern presents an accessible yet stylish project that produces a classic, elegant jumper worked in a luxurious combination of two iconic Rowan yarns. The pattern covers two versions of the garment: a sweater with sleeves and a sleeveless pullover, giving knitters a choice of style from a single pattern.

Garment Designs Included

Version One: Rocha Sweater with Sleeves

The sleeved version of the Rocha Jumper is a full pullover featuring set-in or shaped sleeves worked in the same yarn combination as the body. It is a classic, wearable knit suited to a wide range of sizes and body types.

Version Two: Rocha Sleeveless Pullover

The sleeveless variant offers a lighter, more versatile garment that can be layered over shirts or worn alone. Both versions share the same body construction, neckline shaping, and yarn requirements, differing primarily in the inclusion or omission of the sleeves.

Sizing

The pattern is graded across nine sizes, designed to fit the following bust measurements:

• 71–76 cm, 81–86 cm, 91–97 cm, 102–107 cm, 112–117 cm, 122–127 cm, 132–137 cm, 142–147 cm, 152–157 cm

The corresponding actual knitted bust measurements range from 108 cm to 190 cm, offering generous positive ease across all sizes. This broad size range makes the Rocha Jumper an inclusive pattern suitable for a wide variety of knitters.

Yarns Used

The pattern is worked using two Rowan yarns held together throughout, combining a lace-weight mohair yarn with an aran-weight wool yarn to create a fabric with warmth, halo, and beautiful drape.

Colourway A – Sweater with Sleeves

• Rowan Kidsilk Haze in shade Drab 611 (25 g balls)
• Rowan Kid Classic in shade Clover 895 (50 g balls)

Colourway B – Sleeveless Pullover

• Rowan Kidsilk Haze in shade Bark 674 (25 g balls)
• Rowan Kid Classic in shade Bitter Sweet 866 (50 g balls)

Rowan Kidsilk Haze is a celebrated lace-weight yarn spun from a blend of super kid mohair and silk, known for its extraordinary softness, gossamer halo, and subtle sheen. Rowan Kid Classic is a mid-weight yarn combining lambswool, kid mohair, and nylon, offering structure, warmth, and a gentle fuzziness. Held together, these two yarns create a fabric that is both substantial and ethereally soft — a hallmark of many Rowan designs.

• Straight knitting needles in size 5 mm
• Circular knitting needle in size 5 mm, 40–60 cm in length (used for the neckband or collar)
