Lang 267-39 Sweater Jumper Knitting Pattern

Lang 267-39 Kimberley Sweater

What Is Being Made

The Lang 267-39 Kimberley is a knitted sweater designed in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. The finished garment features a bust measurement of 35½/38½/41¾/45 inches (90/98/106/114 cm) with a total length of 31¾ inches (55 cm). This is a classic pullover-style sweater suitable for everyday wear.

Techniques Used

This sweater is constructed using a bottom-up method, meaning the body and sleeves are knitted starting from the lower edges and working upward toward the shoulders. The pieces are worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, which means each piece is created as a flat panel that will later be joined together. The finished sweater is seamed, with the individual pieces stitched together to form the complete garment. The design incorporates lace elements, adding visual interest and texture to the finished piece.

Stitches Used

The primary stitch pattern featured in this sweater is the Drop Stitch pattern, which creates an open, decorative texture. The Drop Stitch pattern is worked over 10 rows and includes the following key elements:

• Rows 1–4: Garter stitch (knitting every row)
• Row 5 (right side): Yarn overs combined with slip stitch and pass slipped stitch over (psso) to create openwork
• Row 6 (wrong side): Allowing yarn overs from the previous row to intentionally drop, creating the characteristic lace effect
• Row 7: Knit front and back (kfb) increases to add fullness
• Rows 8–10: Garter stitch

The pattern is repeated throughout the sweater body and sleeves. Additional techniques include yarn overs (yo) to create lace holes, knit front and back (kfb) for shaping increases, and slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over (sl 1, k1, psso) for decorative decreases. The cuffs and upper portions of the sleeves are finished with Garter stitch (knitting every row), which creates a stable, non-curling edge.

Materials and Tools

This pattern calls for Lang Yarns Kimberley, a blend fiber composed of cotton, hemp, and polyester. The yardage required varies by size: 350 grams (7 balls) for size Small, 400 grams (8 balls) for size Medium, 450 grams (9 balls) for size Large, and 500 grams (10 balls) for size Extra Large. The specific colorway used in this pattern is aqua (product code 1067.0072).

The sweater is knitted using ADDI brand knitting needles in three different sizes to achieve proper gauge and shaping:

• US 4 (3.5mm) needles for ribbing and cuff sections
• US 6 (4mm) needles for the main Drop Stitch pattern
• US 7 (4.5mm) needles for specific shaping sections

All measurements in the pattern are provided in metric units (centimeters) as well as imperial units (inches), making this pattern accessible to knitters using either measurement system.
