Notes

Yarn amounts are aproximate and are for 2 jumpers

Colours for jumper 1; white, silver, blue, dark blue, light blue.
Colours for jumper 2; white, silver, blue, dark blue, pistachio.

I didn’t use the stripe styling, just the knitting pattern for sizing etc.
It’s a great shape jumper and the integral button bands in rib work well.

Mods / Advice:
When I made the first one I changed colours on the front edge that had the button holes. In terms of neatness and ease of working in ends, it was much easier to work the second jumper with the colour changes on the back edge.

I worked a few short rows on the back to lift the back neck up slightly.

These 2 yarns worked great together, you can’t tell them apart in the knitting fabric, even though while knitting the Rico feels softer (presumably from the acrylic content).
