PRE-ORDER Emma Jumper Knit Kit

I loved making the Emma sweater. She knits up really quickly and the seed stitch stripes add a gorgeous texture which makes her look so fancy! The acrylic yarn is very soft and great to work with- a perfect choice for anyone, especially beginners.

This is the first jumper I have ever made and I am very impressed with the final product! I have previously made a cardigan and beanie using Cardigang kits, so this is only my third time knitting something and it was easy to follow the instructions. I had learnt to knit in the round when I did a beanie, and gained confidence understanding how to better read my knitting when I made my cardigan, so the few new things I had to learn in this kit weren’t too much of a challenge. This is also my first time using acrylic which took a little getting used to, but it’s lighter and doesn’t break as easy as the wool.

I am 165cm tall and usually a size 12 in shirts and jumpers. I ended up making my jumper in a size 14-16 so it would be an oversized look and feel. I added two rows to the sleeves in the ribbing as I found the sleeves in my cardigan prior to this were a little short, and I think the length of the sleeve with two extra rows is perfect!

I found it a little tricky to pick up the stitches to create the neckline - somehow they were all on my needle backwards/twisted when I went to knit, so I had to twist them all around but I made a mistake and this threw my rib pattern off and it ended up being seed stitch instead. I don’t actually mind the look of this as it matches in with the rest of the jumper. I wish I had cast off my stitches just a little tighter (I did it VERY loosely) as my neckline is quite large and looks a little like a cowl style.

Overall I am very happy with…

Great style. Easy to follow instructions

Everything included that is needed to make this beautiful jumper. Would like it to be a bit longer for extra warmth in winter so hopefully enough yarn to do this.
