Adorable, practical, and knitted with love — The Jimmy Jumper is a classic children’s jumper that grows with your little one from baby through to school age. Worked in the beautifully soft Touch Yarns Pure Merino 8 Ply, this jumper is warm, breathable, and gentle against children’s sensitive skin — everything you want in a handknitted garment for a child.
Pure Merino is naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for New Zealand’s changeable seasons. Whether you’re knitting for a new baby or a growing toddler, The Jimmy Jumper is a project you’ll come back to again and again. With 19 beautiful colourways to choose from, you can create something truly special for every child in your life.
