chebeTime for something practical. Let's make another Seamwork's Lex jumper!
Same size 16 Curvy as all the others (v.3, v.2, v.1), but back to original length.
Using a fisherman knit fabric (also known as sailor's knit) in black, 70% cotton 30% polyester, 480gsm, because I don't knit. Same black knit cuff ribbing, 95% cotton 5% spandex, 285gsm, and black thread. This fisherman knit is dense, so to save my needles I skipped all the top stitching.
I adore this jumper. Solid black is versatile, but the texture keeps things interesting. And the open knit of the fabric has the curious property of being warm, but also letting the wind right through, making it very practical for days alternating between sweating and cooling off.
