Mazurka Jumper Kit

From: £103.80

The mazurka is a popular European folk dance in 3-time with a playful, offbeat groove. When I made the Mazurka jumper, I worked repeating bands of 3 colours with slip-stitch cables to add interest and interrupt the rhythm. It’s not hard to see why it made me think of the dance!

The construction starts with a circular yoke, from the top-down, and ends with a relaxed split hem. In this design, I have included 3 bust shaping options to improve the fit. You can also work the jumper straight with no additional shaping.

See product images for schematic and size charts.
This adult sized jumper is designed to be worn with a relaxed fit. Choose a size with 5-10 cm / 2-4″ positive ease on the chest. All measurements provided are from the finished garment. I am wearing size 7 with bust shaping option B.

You can buy the pattern separately, including a digital-only version here.

Bust Shaping Options

This pattern includes optional bust shaping. While wearing the undergarments you intend to wear with the jumper, measure your full bust circumference (around the fullest part of the breast) and your upper bust circumference (under your arms, around the upper back and part of chest with least amount of breast tissue). The difference between these two measurements will determine which bust shaping option is best for you.

Before you buy…

We hand dye our yarn in small batches. The colour consistency between batches is very good but can’t be guaranteed, so we recommend that you buy enough skeins for your project. If your project uses more than one skein, we also recommend that you alternate / stripe the skeins throughout.

Due to the variations in monitors and browsers, the colour of our yarns and products may appear differently on different monitors. Monitors are not all calibrated equally and colour reproduction online is not precise.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our yarns and products that appear on the website, but cannot guarantee that what you see is an exact representation.
