The Golden Eagle ‘Lady’s Jumper’ pattern is a textural delight, knit from the bottom up with statement rippling stripes, each one finished with a bow! Knit in pieces and sew, with button closure at the back and shoulder pads to give the sleeve the perfect amount of puff, this stylish knit can be dressed up or down: the perfect party sweater, but also a wonderful way to inject a little fun into an everyday look.
