Product Description
Naia Jumper in Berroco Lanas
What is Being Made
The Naia Jumper is a pullover sweater designed by Åsa Buchta, suitable for intermediate knitters. This garment is available in ten sizes ranging from 34½" to 70½" bust circumference, with finished lengths between 21" and 24". The sweater is shown in size 4 (46½" bust) and is designed to be worn with approximately 2" to 4" of positive ease for a comfortable, relaxed fit.
Construction Technique
The Naia Jumper employs a top-down construction method, meaning the sweater is knitted beginning at the neckline and progressing downward. The pullover is worked primarily in the round using circular needles, which creates seamless fabric and allows for efficient knitting. A key structural detail involves the back neck shaping using short rows, a technique that raises the back neckline for improved fit and comfort. Once the yoke is completed, sleeve stitches are temporarily placed on waste yarn while the body is finished. The hem features a split construction and is worked flat, departing from the in-the-round method. Sleeves are then worked downward from the yoke to the cuff.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The primary stitch used throughout the Naia Jumper is stockinette stitch (St st), which creates a smooth, classic knit fabric. This fundamental stitch provides an excellent canvas for the sweater's color work and construction details.
Yarn and Materials
The Naia Jumper is designed to be knitted using Berroco Lanas yarn, a premium fiber choice. The pattern calls for multiple colors: the main color (MC) is #95122 Tide, with two contrast colors—#95120 Faded Jeans (CC1) and #95115 Lime Light (CC2). Yarn quantities vary by size, requiring between 5 and 9 balls of the main color (100 g per ball), plus one ball each of the two contrast colors.
Knitting needles required include:
- 16" circular needles in sizes 5 (3.75 mm) and 7 (4.5 mm)
- 32" circular needles in sizes 5 (3.75 mm) and 7 (4.5 mm)
- Double-pointed needles or preferred small circumference needles in sizes 5 (3.75 mm) and 7 (4.5 mm) for working the sleeves and other small sections
Additional notions include a stitch marker, tapestry needle for finishing, and waste yarn for temporarily holding stitches during construction.
Gauge and Finishing
The pattern specifies a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch on the larger needles. This gauge is measured after blocking, making it essential to block your finished sweater to achieve accurate finished measurements. Checking gauge before beginning is strongly recommended to ensure proper fit and fabric characteristics.
