Frits Fisherman Jumper

Originally crafted in a vibrant shade of Chunky Monkey yarn and featured as the Moss & Cable jumper in YARN - The After Party 186, this distinctive design draws inspiration from the rich history of fisherman’s sweaters, where knitted motifs revealed details about the wearer and were passed down through generations.

For Bookazine 18 – The Family Issue, the pattern has been crafted in a beautiful neutral shade of our popular Stone Washed XL yarn, offering a traditional woolly feel—without any wool content. Renamed the Frits Fisherman Jumper, the design retains its classic raglan sleeves for a snug, comfortable fit. Thick cables run from hem to neckline, crossing the sleeves to create a striking visual. Breathable, warm, and soft, this textured knit provides ultimate comfort, making it a perfect unisex sweater to craft for a loved one.
