Lima Casual Jumper

The Lima Jumper has an easy and wearable shape which is accentuated by the zigzag detail on the hem and cuffs. The jumper is knitted in Purl Alpaca Fine yarn on 5mm needles, which creates a lightweight and fine fabric.

The body and sleeves of Lima is knitted in the round, making it a nearly seamless jumper. Great for an intermediate knitter ready to embrace colour work.
