In the plan above the jack stud is, but it doesn’t have to be. You could put a very wide window that crosses multiple 16″ OC locations. Put multiple cripple studs at those locations. You want the “frame” portion (inside king studs) to be able to bear some load, but the king studs will carry the bulk of the load.

Thank you for adding me,I will be using the shed plan.
Would love to get these plans, planing to build a shed, this style would be awesome.
Is the “king stud” or the “jack stud” the traditional or the usual 16” on center stud?

Why are you showing double sill plates for the window?
Better nailing surface for trim.
