But wait, there’s more…another stunning new pattern for Lilt: The Aurora Jumper. 🤎🤍

We’ve just released TWO new knitting patterns for Lilt, the Valentina Jumper that we shared yesterday and the gorgeous Aurora Jumper (PT 8737).

Knitted top down, in the round, the Aurora uses four shades of Lilt to cleverly create seven wide colour stripes, with two shades knitted together in the ‘transition’ stripes. This creates an ombre style effect that is truly stunning.

Available in a wide range of sizes, to fit chest 80cm-150cm, and works when knit ‘to size’ or potentially worn more casually with an oversize fit, which we’ve shown on our lovely model here.

With our Lilt Silk Mohair available in 24 shades, there’s so many beautiful combinations that would work for this jumper.

😍 Stunning NEW pattern for Lilt: The Valentina Jumper 😍

Every now and then a pattern just calls out to jump straight onto your needles.

The Valentina Jumper (PT 8743) is stylish and graceful knit that is a delight to wear and is sure to attract compliment after compliment!

Decadent Lilt combines here with Classic 4 ply to create a stunning jumper using a rick rack rib pattern with a delicate mohair halo.

A nod to vintage style is found in this modern, feminine knit pattern. With a pieced construction, it is available in a wide size range too(finished chest size range 80cm-150cm).

How spectacular are these crochet creations?! The Jumpers and Jazz in July festival in Queensland (16 - 26 July 2026) is going to be ink-redible! 🐙

Repost from Jumpers and Jazz in July:

🐙 Our dedicated Yarntopians are hard at work on “Submerged,” and with so many pieces to assemble, they could use eight arms each!

🧶 Thank you to Bendigo Woollen Mills for supplying the yarn that crafted our stars: the octopus and the kraken. Your support is much appreciated.

🌟These impressive creatures were created by Leanne Olivotto with patterns by the talented Crafty Intentions

🌊 Stay tuned for more updates as we dive deeper into this large-scale installation. We can’t wait to share it with our festival visitors soon!
