Jumper “Sunny day”.

Summer jumper with openwork back

Cotton jumper with an openwork back and a small openwork accent on the front. This jumper consists of two parts that are knitted from bottom to top. The sleeves are knitted in the round.

In the description we are asked to knit from white yarn, but it seems to me that pale blue, yellow, pink, light turquoise are suitable for a summer jumper.

By the way, this jumper could well be a summer T-shirt, if you don’t knit the sleeves.

With the same openwork back
