Mosaic Jumper
The Mosaic Jumper is a celebration of nature at its best! It’s inspired by flower meadows that lay dormant in winter only to burst out in color with the arrival of Spring. With ALL of the colors and fun mosaic graphics, it’s the perfect garment to use up yarn in your stash and to experiment and have lots of fun with color. It’s a round yoke pullover with short rows at the back for a perfectly comfortable fit. It can be cropped or full length and has loose sleeves that puff slightly at the bottom.
