Guernsey Style Jumper in Touch Yarns 8 ply

Guernsey Style Jumper Knitting Kit

Timeless, textured, and built to last — the Guernsey Style Jumper is a classic children’s knit inspired by the iconic fisherman’s gansey tradition. With its distinctive textured stitch panels and sturdy, practical construction, this jumper is as beautiful as it is hardwearing — the kind of knit that becomes a treasured keepsake.

Worked in the wonderfully soft Touch Yarns Pure Merino 8 Ply, this kit produces a jumper that is warm, breathable, and gentle against children’s skin. Pure Merino is naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for New Zealand’s ever-changing seasons. With 19 gorgeous colourways to choose from and sizes spanning baby through to 8 years, this is a pattern you’ll return to again and again.

Tagged as a great beginner-friendly project, this kit is a wonderful introduction to textured knitting for those looking to build their skills. Finished Chest Measurements
