Fish Jumper Request

Location: SE England

Deadline: None! I get it, it takes a long time!

Budget: Negotiable! I'm more putting feelers out so I can save up if it ends up being out of what I can currently afford :)

Yarn: As long as it's not scratchy, I'm happy!

Sizing: 24" chest 17" shoulders 24" length. This is based on the jumpers I usually wear anyway!

Description: There is a pattern I have been in love with for a very long time, but I am a crocheter who has never quite picked up knitting unfortunately! I don't mind it being machine knitted, if that's an option!

I would be willing to do this for you, but I'm in Canada. You're probably looking at around $400, all in, for the sweater. Seems that you would be the smallest size based on the measurements you provided and those for the pattern.

I imagine the OP is asking for 24" across, not a 24" circumference

Hi I’m from the Uk (SW).I’d love to make this for you. I’m happy to send you some photos of stuff I’ve previously made ect! I make silly crochet/knitting content so you can see it worked up in real time too!

Feel free to drop me a message and we can discuss it :D i’m happy to work out a price point that works for you as well as yarns. I’ve actually had this jumper on my list of things I want to make for my partner too!🫣🤍

Please add a comment with the following information if it is missing from your post:

  1. Size; is this for an adult or child?

  2. Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?

  3. Budget; consider this is a one-of-a-kind hand knit garment that will likely cost over $100 not something off the rack at your local department store and please let us know your max price?

  4. Yarn Preference; natural or synthetic / machine or hand wash?

Chiming in to say I love that pattern. Good luck! I hope you find someone to help you out.

OP I’m assuming by 24” chest you mean that’s the measurement of the sweater lying flat? Do the actual chest measurement is 48”? This needs to be clarified because the quotes I’m seeing so far for $300-400 seem awfully low for a 48” adult sweater
