Pattern Notes

This is an intermediate level pattern.

Jumper is knitted flat in separate pieces for Back, Front and Sleeves. A Neckband is added to finish. When working colourwork, work first and last st of each row with both yarns held together. When reading Knitting Charts, read RS rows from right to left, and WS rows from left to right.

The written pattern, measurement table, knitting charts and schematic for the Bagatelle Jumper appear in YARN Bookazine 17 - Patisserie, published by Scheepjes. YARN Bookazine is available in print in both UK English and Dutch language and is available from Scheepjes retailers.
