Panels of twisted stitches emulate the texture of tree roots that twist and entwine toward the neckline in a cable pattern that can be found on the front and back.

Roots Jumper is worked in four separate pieces, each from the bottom up. The neckband is picked up and worked in 1x1 Rib to finish. The garment is unisex and two sleeve lengths are given for each size.

Cable patterns are written and charted.

Sample is 37.75” size; models are 35”
