’Boyfriend’ jumpers are the perfect union of on-trend style and relaxed comfort, and this stripy pattern achieves the ‘casual chic’ look beautifully. With coordinating stripe colours, it’s a great chance to improve your colourwork skills and learn a new decorative rib. The luxurious merino and cashmere blend is so soft you’ll want to live in it!
