The Shades of Shelter jumper is the newest addition to my wardrobe and a simplistic drop shoulder jumper that allows you to easily add in a bit of colour and contrast to your knitwear. Search #shadesofshelter on Instagram to see all the different colour combinations that have been used for my latest design.

This listing is a knitted pattern and not a finished product. You will receive a digital PDF document upon your purchase.

The pattern is written with Australian terms but there are size conversions in the pattern.

Model is 181cm (5’11) and wears size M.
The length is adjustable and instructions can be found within the pattern. The design is intended to be oversized with 20cm (8”) of positive ease. If you want a tighter fitting garment then look at the “finished size” as an indicator of which size to select.

I have used Brooklyn Tweed for the Shades of Shelter. This yarn is a 100% American Targhee-Columbia wool that is natural and rustic and gives off that real wool look. The yarn is a 10ply/worsted weight and knit using 5mm needles (US 8) so a perfect thickness for a nice easy project.

Please remember that if you can’t source the yarn that is recommended then try to find a yarn with a similar tension gauge. The tension gauge is the most important part when ensuring your completed jumper is the same as what you see in the pictures.

This garment is knit using stocking stitch and knit in panels from the bottom up. The panels are then sewn together to complete the garment. I tried to simplify the pattern as much as possible in order to make it an easy and enjoyable project that will hopefully help you to knit some more complex designs in the future.
