A print version of Langsoond - A Shetland Yarn by Donna Smith is also available here.

Wearing Jumper
This jumper is a very wearable garment, suitable for everyday use.
It is often desirable to have an item of clothing that is easy to pull on and off as required, as well as being a comfortable shape to wear and work in, and this jumper fits those criteria. The length of the body is designed so the hem sits on the mid-hip; you can work the body straight or work the optional waist shaping to give a very gentle shape to the garment. This is the jumper version of the Wearing Cardigan and is more relaxed in shape than the tailored Scarpigert Jumper.

Pattern Notes
The body and sleeves are knitted separately in the round, then joined to work the joke. Decreases are made to create the raglan shaping – to give a snug fit around the shoulders, the slope of each ‘seam’ is shaped rather than being straight. The jumper is designed to be worn with slight negative or minimal positive ease, depending on your preference. It works equally well when worn with 10-15cm (4-6in) of positive ease.
