Historical version 1 of Kake's Sirdar Wow Jumper For Doop (view current version)
doop is very fussy about his clothes. Very very very fussy. However he has graciously allowed me to knit him a jumper.
I'm modelling it on one he already has that he says fits him well. I'm using black Sirdar Wow because he likes chenillyness but he also likes throwing his jumpers in the washer and tumbler. This stuff is velvety soft but 100% polyester.
I'm doing a K3P3 rib all the way up, as requested. I'm getting a gauge of 6 st per 9cm, and I want the body of the jumper to be about 55cm across. I'm going to knit in the round, so I need to use a multiple of 6 stitches to make the pattern work right. 72 stitches comes to 108cm, so that's what I'm going with. Yes, this is another home-made pattern.
The pattern
Use 7mm needles. Size: one size fits doop. I will measure him and put his actual chest measurement up here at some point. He is slim, if that helps.
Body (worked in the round to armholes)
Cast on 72 stitches. Work K3 P3 rib in the round until x cm long (x will be noted here at a later date).
