Lang 247-12 Sweater Jumper Knitting Pattern

This downloadable knitting pattern from Lang Yarns provides instructions for creating a classic sweater jumper using traditional construction methods. The pattern is designed for knitters who prefer straightforward, reliable garment assembly techniques.

Construction Method

The sweater is worked flat on straight needles or circular needles in flat mode, meaning you knit back and forth in rows rather than working in continuous rounds. This approach is popular among knitters who find flat knitting more comfortable or who prefer the control it offers over stitch placement and tension.

The garment is constructed using a bottom-up approach, beginning with the ribbed hem at the lower edge and progressing upward through the body, armholes, and finally the neckline. This method allows you to try on the piece as you work and easily adjust the length to your preferences before committing to the final measurements.

Assembly Technique

This pattern utilizes seamed construction, meaning the individual pieces—front, back, and sleeves—are knitted separately and then sewn together using a seaming method such as the mattress stitch. Seaming creates clean, professional-looking side seams and sleeve caps while providing structure and durability to the finished garment.

Pattern Format

The Lang 247-12 is available as a downloadable PDF, allowing you to access the pattern immediately and print it for reference while knitting. This format is convenient for keeping pattern notes and stitch counts organized at your crafting station.
