Sevilla Jumper Knitting Pattern

Sevilla Jumper in Berroco Mykonos Stonewash

What Is Being Made

The Sevilla Jumper is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed by Amy Christoffers. This pullover garment features a classic construction with finished bust measurements available in seven sizes: 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, and 60 inches. The front length ranges from 22 to 24½ inches depending on size, while the back is designed 3 inches longer, creating a distinctive proportional silhouette. The garment is constructed with approximately 2–4 inches of ease for comfortable wearing.

Techniques Used

The Sevilla Jumper employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. Construction begins with a ribbed cuff worked on smaller needles, establishing the foundation for the garment. The body is worked in stockinette stitch on larger needles, creating a smooth, classic fabric. The pattern includes shaping techniques for armholes and neckline shaping to create a fitted silhouette. Stitch holders and safety pins are used to manage live stitches during construction, and removable stitch markers help track pattern placement and measurement points throughout the project.

Stitches Used

• Ribbing (K1, P1): The set-up rib alternates knit and purl stitches across the row, creating vertical texture and elasticity. This rib pattern is worked for 6 inches from the cast-on edge to form the lower band of the sweater.
• Stockinette Stitch (St st): The primary stitch used throughout the body of the jumper after the ribbed cuff. Stockinette stitch is created by alternating knit rows on the right side with purl rows on the wrong side, producing a smooth, flat fabric with characteristic V-shaped columns.

Materials and Tools

The Sevilla Jumper is designed to be knitted in Berroco Mykonos Stonewash yarn, a worsted-weight fiber available in the colorway Storm (#8593). Yarn requirements vary by size, ranging from 8 hanks for the smallest size (36" bust) to 14 hanks for the largest size (60" bust), with each hank weighing 50 grams.

Needles required include straight needles in sizes 2 (2.75 mm) and 5 (3.75 mm), allowing for gauge adjustment based on individual knitting tension. A 16-inch circular needle in size 2 (2.75 mm) is used for ribbed sections. Additional notions include one stitch holder for managing shoulder stitches, one safety pin for securing held stitches, one removable stitch marker for tracking measurement points, and one regular stitch marker for pattern placement.

The recommended gauge is 24 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches when working stockinette stitch on the larger needles. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished measurements, and knitters are advised to swatch before beginning the project.
