Kookaburra jumper

There is nothing like a good, eye-catching and comfy unisex pullover! Kookaburra Jumper took its name from the fascinating Australian bird whose plumage is full of unique textures. It is a simple and cosy project, which gives lots of satisfaction and fun while knitting. Straight and easy construction fits perfectly to all body shapes and allows to adjust the sweater to our needs.

Kookaburra is an everyday, unisex jumper, with moderate positive ease to provide comfort and casual look. Its yoke is decorated with a rustic texture pattern, which can be successfully expanded to the whole body part replacing a simple and quick to make, but graceful Double Seed st pattern. It is all up to you! The jumper was designed taking male proportions into account, so consider length modification of your sleeves and body to your personal measurements if needed.
