Smart, classic, and built for little adventurers — the Captain’s Jumper is a timeless children’s knit with nautical charm and everyday practicality. Whether your little one is commanding the playground or setting sail on weekend adventures, this jumper will keep them warm, comfortable, and looking the part.
Worked in the beautifully soft Touch Yarns Pure Merino 8 Ply, this kit produces a jumper that is warm, breathable, and gentle against children’s skin. Pure Merino is naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking — ideal for New Zealand’s changeable seasons. With 19 gorgeous colourways to choose from and sizes spanning toddler through to 10 years, this is a pattern you’ll come back to again and again.
Tagged as a great beginner-friendly project, the Captain’s Jumper is a wonderful choice for knitters looking to build their confidence with a rewarding, wearable result.
