The April Jumper by Rūkė Knit | The April jumper is an oversize hip-length style knit that has a beautiful front neckline and is worked top down. Sleeves are especially wide at the body part and very narrowing towards the cuff. The neck is worked in a Rib stitch pattern which later is being folded so it looks neat and beautifully fitted to the neck. Cuffs and Hem are worked in a Rib stitch pattern. The April jumper fits well with leggings, shorts, and other free style clothes. It is a perfect sweater that does not oblige and lets to be relaxed.
