Real attention to detail in all respects
This is a superb yarn which I haven't used before - very easy to knit with, producing even results. And the bags the yarn came in were a delight - a really nice touch!

Worked in varying stripes using yarn that can be substituted from your own stash, this is a truly creative knit!
The pattern includes info on the shades and stripes used in the original, including exact quantities for each colour. The pattern has a table with the exact sequence of the original stripes, plus a blank stripe table for your colourway.
The main yarn weight is worsted but you can sneak in oddments of DK and aran.
This garment is designed to be very oversized, with slightly cropped bracelet-style sleeves and shortish body length.
However, there are notes in the pattern to help you modify the fit to your preference.
While the original sample has a straight boat neck, this updated version also contains optional front neck shaping and rib neck edging.
Yarn quantities are shown below for the MC and four CCs, to give you an idea of the amount you need. For the sample sweater you will need 2 (3:3:3:3) hanks of MC and 1 hank or less of 11 other shades.

This is a superb yarn which I haven't used before - very easy to knit with, producing even results. And the bags the yarn came in were a delight - a really nice touch!
Great results, now all my odd balls, of wool are becoming jumpers one sleeveless jumper. Family actually wanting their own choice of stripes. Getting more more imaginative! Stripes, fluffy stripes, mixed textures. It's so easy too!
It’s an easy to follow pattern. I chose my own colour arrangement. I adjusted the neck to give it a rib. I chose the smallest size as I didn’t want it too loose. Good result.
These needles are a present but have used and enjoyed their ease to knit with and as they're wood, their flex.
Great pattern, great use of leftovers.
Belle qualité de laine, la bonne quantité aussi
easy pattern to follow, ive some greens to use up.
I have printed off the pattern and read through it. The instructions are clear easy to follow
The pattern when printed contained several blank pages to make notes of rows of stripes (it is a striped jersey) - these were not really necessary.
Great pattern
