This bright and cosy Christmas jumper features a range of colourful baubles, created using the intarsia method with added bobbles and embroidered details. This is a loose fit design in a chunky yarn (making it a fairly quick knit too), and is worked flat from the bottom up, with the collar picked up at the end and worked in the round. Techniques include knit and purl stitches, bobbles, intarsia colourwork from a chart, increases and decreases, picking up stitches, working in the round and embroidery (optional).
