Juniper Moon Farm Jumper Knitting Pattern

Juniper Moon Farm Camille Sweater

What is Being Made

The Camille pullover is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed by Sandi Prosser as part of the Winter Snuggles Collection. This pullover is available in three size ranges: X-Small/Small, Medium/Large, and X-Large/2X-Large, with finished bust measurements of 40 inches (102cm), 48 inches (122cm), and 56 inches (142cm) respectively. The sweater features a length of approximately 25 to 26 inches (63.5 to 66cm) depending on size, and upper arm circumference measurements ranging from 14 to 18 inches (36 to 46cm).

Knitting Techniques Used

The Camille sweater employs several key knitting techniques to create its distinctive appearance. Cable knitting is the primary decorative technique, featuring multiple cable panels worked throughout the garment. The pattern uses 8-stitch right cross (8-st RC) and 8-stitch left cross (8-st LC) cable maneuvers, which are created by slipping stitches to a cable needle and crossing them over subsequent stitches to form twisted rope-like textures. The sweater also incorporates ribbed edging for structure and stretch, worked in a knit-purl combination pattern. Increases are strategically placed using the make-one (M1) method to shape the garment from the ribbed cuff to the wider body sections. The construction method involves working separate balls of yarn for each cable panel to maintain proper tension and stitch definition.

Stitches Used

The Camille sweater is constructed using fundamental knitting stitches combined in specific patterns:

• Knit stitch (k): The basic foundation stitch used throughout the garment
• Purl stitch (p): Used to create texture contrast and ribbed sections
• Cable Panel: A 28-stitch repeat pattern worked over 10 rows, combining knit and purl stitches with cable crosses to create dimensional texture
• Ribbed pattern: Alternating knit and purl stitches (k2, p3 sequences) used for the lower edge and cuffs to provide elasticity
• Make-one increase (M1): Used during the transition from ribbed sections to cable panel sections to increase stitch count

Materials

The Camille sweater is knitted using Juniper Moon Farm Herriot yarn, a worsted-weight fiber available in five coordinating colorways. The yarn requirements vary by size: the X-Small/Small and Medium/Large sizes require 2 skeins each of color 1051 Mocha (color A) and 2 skeins each of colors 1080 Linen (B), 1081 Cumin (C), 1086 Liatris (D), and 1082 Celadon (E). The X-Large/2X-Large size requires 4 skeins of color A (Mocha) and 2 skeins each of the remaining colors. Each skein weighs 100 grams.

The pattern is worked on US size 7 (4.5mm) straight needles for the main body pieces, with a US size 6 (4mm) circular needle measuring 16 inches (40cm) used for finishing details. Additional notions include a cable needle for manipulating cable stitches, stitch holders for securing stitches during construction, and stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points.

Gauge and Construction Notes

Achieving the correct gauge is essential for proper fit. The pattern specifies 28 stitches and 30 rows to 4 inches (10cm) over the cable pattern when blocked using size US 7 (4.5mm) needles. Each individual cable panel measures approximately 4 inches (10cm) in width when blocked. The sweater is constructed by casting on 122, 146, or 170 stitches depending on size, beginning with a ribbed cuff that measures 2.5 inches (6.5cm). Increases are worked across a transition row to bring the stitch count to 142, 170, or 198 stitches before beginning the main cable panel sections.
