Ludivine Jumper is a perfect project to get started with circular top down knitting, offering a timeless piece you can customise endlessly to create a wardrobe that truly reflects your style. Its slightly oversized fit falls gracefully at the hips, wrapping you in a warm, comforting cloud—ideal for cool evenings or chilly days.

CONSTRUCTION: This pattern is worked seamlessly from the top down. You’ll begin with a 1x1 ribbed neckline, then shape the yoke with increases along the raglan lines. After completing the yoke, the sleeve stitches are set aside while you knit the body down to the hem ribbing. Finally, you’ll return to the sleeves, work them in the round down to the cuffs.
