Noro Sweater Jumper Knitting Pattern

Noro Sweater: A Bottom-Up Knit Design

What Is Being Made

This is a classic sweater pattern designed by Jenny Watson and featured in Book 3 by Noro Design. The sweater is constructed using traditional knitting techniques and is intended as a wearable garment suitable for personal crafting projects.

Construction Method

The Noro Sweater is worked using a bottom-up construction approach, meaning the knitter begins at the lower edge and works upward toward the neckline. The garment is seamed, indicating that separate pieces are knitted flat and then joined together using seaming techniques. This worked flat method allows knitters to work on straight needles rather than in the round, making it accessible for those who prefer traditional flat knitting.

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

As a sweater pattern from Noro Design, this project employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for garment construction. The seamed, flat-worked approach typically involves:

• Casting on and binding off for creating finished edges
• Stockinette stitch or similar foundational stitches for the body fabric
• Increases and decreases for shaping the garment at armholes, shoulders, and neckline
• Seaming stitches to join front, back, and sleeve pieces together

Materials

This pattern is designed to be worked with Noro yarn and appropriate knitting needles. Specific yarn weight, yardage requirements, needle size, and gauge information are included within the pattern as guidelines for achieving the intended finished measurements.

Pattern Source and Use

The pattern is from a Knitting Fever, Inc. (KFI) publication and is intended for personal use only. Photography for this design was provided by Glen Pearson Photographics. This is a downloadable PDF format pattern, making it convenient for digital access and reference while knitting.
