Kangaroo Jumper

This cosy jumper is knitted in the round from the bottom up. After working a broken rib, stitches are created for the pocket lining which is worked using double-layered knitting. The pocket is completed and joined back into the body. The jumper is worked without shaping to the underarms then divided for front and back which are knitted flat and joined at the shoulders with three-needle bind off after some short row shaping. Drop shoulder sleeves are knitted top down and finished with a long cuff with a thumb hole. The neck is completed with a large, ribbed shawl collar. There is one small bit of sewing to complete the collar. The broken rib is echoed at the sides of the pocket openings and the top of the sleeves.

The pattern also contains photo tutorials for stretchy bind off and short row shaping. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
