This figure-hugging jumper is knitted with your choice of either no or negative ease to the body, bearing in mind there is some stretch and give in the finished fabric. In contrast the sleeves open out into a bell shape at the cuff to give an interesting twist to the garment. The lace panel that crosses the yoke is repeated just about the cuff whilst the gently curled edges give the whole jumper a soft edge. It is finished with a polo neck that adds further sleekness to the whole effect.

Sizes range from 76 to 101.5 cm but, in order to achieve the close fit, the final measurements range from 10 to 86.5 cm. If you wish to have a slightly less tight fit, choose a larger size to suit.

Gauge is given as 28 sts and 38 rows to 10cm in stocking stitch using 3.25mm needles.

Whilst a specific yarn has been suggested for this sweater, it can be knitted using any 4ply or fingering weight yarn as long as the correct tension can be achieved.
