Construction Method

One of the most notable features of this design is that it is worked in one piece, a construction technique that minimises the number of seams required and creates a more cohesive finished fabric. Knitting a garment in one piece is a satisfying approach for intermediate knitters who are comfortable managing stitches in the round or across larger needle spans, and it results in a cleaner, more professional finish with less finishing work required at the end.

Design Details

The defining feature of this jumper is its wide sleeve detail, which gives the garment a contemporary, fashion-forward silhouette. Wide sleeves add a relaxed, elegant drape to a knitted jumper and are particularly flattering across a range of fits. The design is shown in shade 666 Crystal, a clean and versatile colourway that showcases the stitch definition and texture of the yarn beautifully.

Yarn: Sirdar Country Classic Worsted

Sirdar Country Classic Worsted is a pure merino wool blend yarn that is celebrated for its ability to bring beautiful definition to both colourwork and textured stitches. As a true worsted weight yarn, it strikes an ideal balance between warmth and wearability, making it well-suited to cosy jumpers that are as stylish as they are practical. The yarn is produced by Sirdar, a British yarn company established in West Yorkshire in 1880, with a long heritage in hand knitting design and yarn manufacturing.

The merino wool content in Country Classic Worsted gives the finished fabric a soft, luxurious hand feel against the skin, while the worsted spin ensures excellent stitch clarity — an important quality when working textured or detailed stitch patterns. Worsted weight yarn also knits up relatively quickly compared to lighter weights, making this an enjoyable and rewarding project for intermediate knitters.

Techniques and Skills Used

As an intermediate pattern, Design No. 10170 is suited to knitters who have moved beyond the basics and are comfortable with a range of standard knitting techniques. Working a garment in one piece requires confidence in managing larger stitch counts and understanding garment shaping across a single continuous fabric.

• One-piece garment construction — reducing seaming and creating a unified fabric
• Sleeve shaping — achieving the signature wide sleeve silhouette through careful increases and shaping
• Garment sizing and shaping — working across a broad size range from 81 to 137 cm
• Standard knit and purl stitches — forming the base fabric of the jumper
• Tension/gauge management — essential when working in worsted weight yarn to achieve the correct finished dimensions
