Paintbox Yarns Bobble Yoke Jumper
What is Being Made
The Paintbox Yarns Bobble Yoke Jumper is an intermediate-level knitted sweater featuring a distinctive bobble-textured yoke section. This pullover design is available in five size options to fit bust measurements from 76-81 cm (30-32 inches) up to 112-117 cm (44-46 inches), with finished lengths ranging from 56.5 cm to 67 cm (22¼ to 26¼ inches). The garment showcases a pretty pastel color palette with horizontal stripes throughout the body and sleeves, creating a cheerful, modern aesthetic.
Construction Techniques
This jumper is constructed using a bottom-up method, meaning the knitter begins at the lower edge of the body and works upward toward the shoulders. The garment is worked in the round, which eliminates the need for seaming and creates seamless fabric tubes for the body and sleeves. The yoke features decorative bobble stitches that add textural interest and visual dimension to the shoulder and neckline area. Horizontal stripes are incorporated throughout the design, created by changing yarn colors at regular intervals to produce the multi-colored effect shown in the pattern.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch structure is stocking stitch (stockinette stitch in US terminology), which creates the smooth, classic knit fabric that forms the base of the sweater body and sleeves. The signature bobble stitches are worked as decorative elements within the yoke section, adding raised, textured details that contrast with the flat stocking stitch background. Standard shaping techniques including knit 2 together decreases and make 1 increases are used to shape the armholes, neckline, and sleeve cap. The pattern also employs wrap and turn techniques for short-row shaping, which allows for precise fit adjustments in the yoke area.
Materials and Needles
The Paintbox Yarns Bobble Yoke Jumper is designed to be worked in Paintbox Yarns 100% Wool Worsted yarn, a medium-weight wool that provides excellent stitch definition for both the bobble details and striped colorwork. Yarn requirements vary by size: the smallest sizes require 5 balls of the main color (Pale Lilac) plus one ball each of Dark Aubergine, Pansy Purple, Tea Rose, Pillar Red, Grass Green, Buttercup Yellow, and Stormy Grey, while larger sizes require up to 8 balls of the main color. The pattern specifies 4mm (UK 8 - US 6) circular knitting needles for the ribbed edgings and 4.5mm (UK 7 - US 7) circular knitting needles for the main fabric, with matching double-pointed needles in both sizes for working the sleeves in the round. A stitch holder is also required for managing stitches during construction.
