Easy Baby Jumper Pattern.Ihave seen a very easy pattern for a knitted jumper,but can't seem to find a copy, can anyone help?
The jumper is knitted in 2 pieces, back and front, knitted in garter stitch, the sleeves are cast on whist knitting the body. Looks like a knitted T shape.It has blanket stitch around the neck, wrists and lower edge.
Very basic,looks easy?debbie bliss

I don't have a pattern like that myself but I'll have a look around Cookie. Have you tried an online search on the sites that do free patterns?

The Oxfam jumper pattern would be very easy for children to knit and make up. It is just a T-shape so it is all straight knitting except for 2 rows of increasing for the sleeves.
THE OXFAM JUMPER PATTERN
Please print this page out - and pass a copy on to a friend!
To fit 20" (22", 24" ) chest. Length 11½ (12½", 14")
You will need:
150 (150, 150) grammes double knitting wool.
A pair of each of No. 8 and No. 10 needles.
FRONT AND BACK (make two)
With No.10 needles cast on 57 (63, 69) stitches and knit 7 (9, 9) rows.
Change to No.8 needles and continue:
1st row knit
2nd row purl
3rd row knit
4th row purl
5th row knit
6th row purl
7th row knit
8th row knit
Continue pattern until work measures 6¾" (7½", 8¾") ending on purl row.
Cast on 18 (22, 26) stitches at beginning of next two rows for sleeves 93 (107, 121) stitches.
Next and every row - knit 3, pattern to last 3 stitches, knit 3.
Continue until work measures 11" (12½", 14").
Next row - knit 3, pattern 20 (24, 28 ), knit 47 (53, 59) pattern 20 (24, 28 ) knit 3.
Repeat last row four times more. Cast off.
TO MAKE UP:
Do not press. Join sides and underarm seams, then join the cast off edges, leaving sufficient free at the centre for the head to go through.
