This is a real statement piece! This jumper uses the intarsia method to create a bold animal print effect. The jumper itself is a simple raglan style, so all the effort goes into the colour work. Not a quick knit, but worth the effort! This pattern includes charts colour-coded for different sizes, so I would only really recommend it if you are quite an experienced (or very ambitious!) knitter. Techniques include knit and purl stitches, intarsia colour work from charts, increases and decreases and picking up stitches.
