Dylla Jumper Knitting Pattern

Dylla Jumper in Berroco Aerial and Aerial Color

What is Being Made

The Dylla Jumper is a knitted sweater designed by Margaux Hufnagel, available in nine sizes ranging from 36" to 68" bust measurement. This intermediate-level garment features a modern construction method with the body and sleeves worked separately from the bottom up in the round before being joined for a seamless yoke. The finished length ranges from approximately 25" to 27" depending on size, offering a classic pullover silhouette with positive ease of 2–4" recommended for comfortable wear.

Techniques Used

The Dylla Jumper employs several key knitting techniques suited to intermediate crafters. The garment is constructed using circular needles for seamless in-the-round knitting, which eliminates side seams and creates a smooth, professional finish. The body and sleeves are knitted separately from the cuff and hem upward, then joined together at the yoke, which is worked as one continuous piece down to the neckline. This top-down yoke method allows for easy customization of fit and length. Two strands of yarn—one from Berroco Aerial Color and one from Berroco Aerial—are held together throughout the entire project, creating a blended colorway and achieving the required gauge.

Stitches Used

The primary stitch used in the Dylla Jumper is Stockinette Stitch (St st), which creates the smooth, classic knit fabric that forms the body of the sweater. Stockinette stitch is worked in the round using knit stitches on every round, producing the characteristic V-pattern texture on the right side of the fabric. This stitch is ideal for showcasing the color blending achieved by holding two yarns together.

Materials: Yarn and Needles

The Dylla Jumper is designed to be knitted using two Berroco yarns held together throughout the project. Berroco Aerial Color in colorway #34103 Renoir (designated as C1) and Berroco Aerial in colorway #3404 Driftwood (designated as C2) are each available in 25-gram balls. Yardage requirements vary by size, with smaller sizes requiring 4 balls of each yarn and larger sizes requiring up to 8 balls of each yarn.

The needle requirements include circular needles in two sizes: size 4 / 3.5 mm and size 6 / 4 mm, with both 16" / 40 cm and 32" / 80 cm lengths needed. Additionally, one set each of double-pointed needles in sizes 4 / 3.5 mm and 6 / 4 mm are required for working smaller circumferences such as the neckline and cuffs. The pattern specifies working to a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rounds over 4" / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch using the larger needles with both yarns held together, measured after blocking.

Additional Notions and Tools

• 2 stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and construction points
• Waste yarn for holding stitches during construction
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• Contrasting yarn approximately 36" / 91.5 cm long for provisional cast-on or stitch holder purposes

Pattern Notes

This downloadable PDF pattern emphasizes the importance of checking gauge before beginning, as accurate gauge ensures the finished measurements will match the schematic. The pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up, with the body and sleeves knitted separately before joining at the yoke. Both yarn colors are held together as a single strand throughout the entire project, which creates a cohesive, blended appearance and contributes to achieving the specified gauge. The pattern includes multiple size options to accommodate a range of body measurements and fit preferences.
