Knitted jumper sample

Below is my final Knitted jumper sample, I used a mixture of my samples to create the idea for this jumper. I mainly used a tuck design I created in a grey yarn to create the bodice as it was lovely once it had been washed.

For my hem, cuffs and collar I used another idea and Each design differed slightly from the other, decreasing in size depending on where they were on the jumper.

So for the hem I did a larger design (below).

Then for the cuffs I did a smaller design.

And for the collar an even smaller design as I thought it needed to be more dainty as it was only a trim.

For all of the designed edges I created a scalloped edge, This is in fashion at the minute and I thought it gave the jumper a more unique design to it.

I am really pleased with the outcome and many people have said to me that they would buy it if it was in the retail market so it makes me happy that I believe this item idea could sell.

Knitting

Here below are my 8 final knit samples, they are inspired by circles which I created in some paper I made over summer and also texture. I think they represent this and the theme summertime blues very well.

Some designs are more imagery and some are lacy and full of tucks. 

The more I look at my samples, the more I like them and the more ideas and creations I think about doing. With these samples I had to also make a sample small scale jumper/cardigan idea, I used mainly one of my tuck ideas and also the knit idea from the second photo up from the bottom here. I will show the outcome soon.
