Colonnade Jumper
A colonnade is a long sequence of columns set at regular intervals. The Colonnade Jumper is inspired by this repetitive architectural structure. This boxy top-down raglan is worked seamlessly with a simple and repetitive slip stitch design that’s a fun take on classic stripes. The Colonnade Jumper is both easy to knit and easy to wear.
YARN
The Colonnade Jumper was designed in collaboration with Less Traveled Yarn, using Arcadia DK (100% Non-Superwash Domestic Merino; 180 yds/165 m per 50 g skein).
