What you need to know

Stop and smell the roses with Lynne Rowe's floral jumper knitting design.

Lose yourself in this gorgeous short-sleeved jumper pattern. Much of this design is worked in stocking stitch, making for a lovely relaxing knit, and it features grown-on sleeves, meaning there’s no need to sew them on later. You’ll be embroidering delicate flowers using lazy daisy stitches to embellish the arms and hem of this loose fitting jumper, as well as adding a touch of rib as a final flourish. Take care over your increases and decreases to nail the shaping.
