Leannan Jumper

I designed this jumper to launch at Yarndale, the Skipton annual yarn festival, in 2017 and I feel like I have lived in it every autumn/winter ever since! It is so comfy to pop on and relax in or go for autumnal walks when the air is chilly but the sun is making you feel warm.

This is one of my favourite ways to do rib - what I call a flat rib. One of my preferred stitch techniques - there is a row where you have to do a pattern and then there is a row where you can just relax with knit. I designed the original jumper with a yarn spun in Donegal so I named all the patterns using Irish words - Leannan (pronounced Lan-awn) is the Irish word for lover or perfection in our hearts. I gave this jumper that name because this is my perfect jumper!
