Product Description
Sorcha is a cardigan and jumper (sweater) knitting pattern which is knitted following a 16 row pattern which looks like waves. It will fit approx chest size 20” (6-12 months) - although children do vary in size.
It looks a complicated knit but once you get into the pattern sequence it is much easier. I love this pattern as the style gives it a hint of a flair.
Sorcha Jumper Knitting Pattern by Silk Marsh Designs
What Is Being Made
The Sorcha Jumper is a baby knitting pattern designed by Silk Marsh Designs for infants aged approximately 6-12 months. This double knit garment features a finished chest measurement of 20 inches (51 centimeters) and a length of 12.5 inches (32 centimeters), making it an ideal first jumper for babies in this size range.
Craft and Technique
This is a knitting pattern classified as intermediate difficulty, suitable for knitters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle a structured garment project. The pattern uses double knit construction, a technique that creates a fabric with excellent drape and durability—particularly valuable in baby garments where comfort and longevity are essential considerations.
Stitches and Construction
While specific stitch-by-stitch details are not provided in the pattern excerpt, the double knit method employed in the Sorcha Jumper creates a smooth, even fabric surface. Knitters working this pattern should be prepared to follow shaping instructions appropriate to an intermediate skill level and ensure consistent tension throughout the project.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
- Yarn: King Cole Cotton Top DK weight
- Quantity: 4 balls of yarn (approximate, based on average requirements)
- Yarn Weight: DK (Double Knit) - a versatile medium weight ideal for baby garments
- Needles: 1 pair of size 4 knitting needles
Important Pattern Notes
Tension is critical to the success of this project. Knitters must work to the stated tension to ensure the finished garment achieves the correct measurements. If your gauge produces fewer stitches and rows per 10 centimeters (4 inches), switch to finer needles; if it produces more stitches and rows, switch to larger needles. This adjustment ensures proper fit for the baby.
The yarn quantities provided are approximate based on average requirements. The pattern uses King Cole Cotton Top DK, a breathable cotton blend suitable for warm-weather baby wear and easy care.
