Intermediate Knitting
The Superlight Jumper is just what it says on the tin: it’s super light! Imagine a soft warm cloud-like jumper that weighs less than 250g and folds up into a really small bundle: the jumper of your dreams is now here. It is also a seamless top-down design so there’s only the collar finishing and sewing in ends to do once the knitting is done. Worked in one colour or a stripe pattern of your choice, you can personalise it to match your wardrobe or any occasion.

Materials
Yarn – 4 (5, 5, 6, 6){7, 8, 8, 9} balls Lang Alpaca Superlight. Work garment in a single colour or stripe pattern of your choice. Note: The size M sample was knitted in 20-row stripes of three colours using C1 – 0066 Raspberry, C2 – 0248 Antique Rose and C3 – 0280 Burgundy; however including the colour changes made the pattern instructions completely unwieldy. If using three colours, you will need: C1 – 2 (3, 3, 3, 3){4, 4, 4, 5} balls, C2 – 2 (2, 2, 2, 3){3, 3, 3, 3} balls and C3 – 1 (1, 2, 2, 2){2, 2, 2, 2} balls
Needles – 4mm and 3.5mm 60-80cm circular needles, 3.5mm 40cm circular needle for neckband, 4mm and 3.5mm needles for preferred method of working small circumferences (dpns or 25cm circular or magic loop or two circulars)
Extras – 4 stitchmarkers (one contrasting), waste yarn, row counter (optional) and wool needle for sewing neckband and ends
Tension
21sts and 31 rows to 10cm over Stocking Stitch. Check your tension for an accurate fit. Stitch tension is much more important than row tension in this garment.
