Folk Jumper
Color, fun, and self-expression are the foundation of this striking, yet super wearable jumper. With simple granny squares around the neckline and an interesting stitch pattern throughout the body, it will keep you entertained from beginning to end. The pullover can be made cropped or as long as desired. #FolkJumper
