Abstract Oversized Jumper Knitting Pattern PDF – DK

Make your next knit a statement. Bold abstract shapes, playful pops of colour and a wonderfully oversized silhouette give this 1980s jumper all the personality a vintage knit should have. It's wearable art for your handmade wardrobe.

The photographed design pairs a dark background with vibrant red, yellow and green motifs for a striking retro look. Recreate that colour combination or choose your own palette for a jumper that feels unmistakably you. With its relaxed shape, roomy sleeves and ribbed neckline, it's just the thing to throw on with jeans when an ordinary jumper won't do.
