About the Design

The jumper features a two-colour construction, combining two coordinating shades of Sirdar Haworth Tweed DK to create a visually striking, rustic garment with a warm, countryside aesthetic. The richly nepped texture of the Haworth Tweed yarn adds depth and character even to straightforward stitch patterns, making this an excellent project for beginners who want impressive results without complex techniques. The finished garment is designed to be both stylish and practical — warm enough for outdoor wear while remaining a fashionable knitwear piece.

Sizing and Measurements

The pattern is written to fit a wide range of sizes, making it a versatile choice for knitters of all builds:

• Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL
• Chest to fit: 81/86 cm (32/34") through to 132/137 cm (52/54")
• Finished width: 102 cm (40") up to 153 cm (60¼")
• Full length: 58 cm (22¾") to 68 cm (26¾") depending on size
• Sleeve length: 46 cm (18") to 48 cm (19") depending on size

This broad size range — from a 32" chest up to a 54" chest — means the pattern is genuinely inclusive and suitable for a wide variety of knitters.

Materials Required

The pattern uses Sirdar Haworth Tweed Double Knitting yarn (yarn code F007), a 50g ball weight DK yarn inspired by the Yorkshire Dales. Two shades are used:

• Yarn A: Shade 901 Hepworth Slate — required in 1 to 2 balls depending on size
• Yarn B: Shade 913 Millstone Grey — required in 5 to 9 balls depending on size

The pattern also suggests several alternative colourways available in the Sirdar Haworth Tweed DK range, including:

• 903 Hockney Blue
• 909 Moorland Moss
• 910 Harewood Chestnuts

These alternatives allow knitters to personalise the two-tone combination to suit their own style preferences while staying within the same yarn family.

Needles

Two pairs of straight knitting needles are required:

• 4mm needles (UK 8 / USA 6) — used for the main body of the jumper
• 3¼mm needles (UK 10 / USA 3) — typically used for ribbed or tighter tension sections such as cuffs, hems, and neckbands

Techniques and Stitches

Key techniques and stitches likely include:

• Knit and purl stitches — the fundamental building blocks of all knitting, used to create the main fabric of the jumper
• Rib stitch — a combination of knit and purl stitches worked in sequence (such
