Paprika Jasper Sweater

I think I bought this pattern about 3-4 weeks ago. I printed and taped! Only to discover that I had no tracing paper!  I finally picked some up yesterday at Joanns.

 
Jasper by Paprika Patterns         While there, I bought 2 yards of this gorgeous sweater knit. Tossed it in the washer and dryer yesterday. Came out beautiful. This morning I traced off size 6. I debated 6 or 7, as 6 is based off B cup and 7 is based off C cup. The pattern said to go with your hip size, if your chest was a 6 or 7. It was right. The fit is great. I went with the hoodless version. 
Front view. I love it.
 
It did not dawn on me to center the horizontal pattern down the center front and back!  I am so happy with the fit and fabric, that I decided I just don't care!         
Side. Pattern matching perfect on this side!
 

I was very happy with the princess seams, they really make it  a nice fitting sweater, instead of being bulky.

Again you can see how I did not center the pattern on the fabric. lol

    I was a little nervous about the welt pockets in such a bulky fabric. I followed the tutorial on Paprika Patterns. Was a breeze.   
The collar is my favorite feature!         I really love this pattern. Very flattering, comfy and fun. I will definitely have to try one with the hood.  Stay happy Keep sewing And if you can't sew Go sledding with a cute boy. 
My boys.

  2. I love the Jasper Sweater pattern and yours is lovely. You have done an awesome job on the welt pockets. I made the Jasper Sweater Dress last winter and love it. I must make the sweater next winter.
