Nothing compares to fresh bread smothered in butter and homemade jam for a wholesome tea-time treat. This jumper is designed to evoke that same vibe. The pattern is knit top down, beginning with a single-colour brioche collar worked flat. The yoke is picked up and worked in the round with a simple stranded colourwork pattern spread across the shoulders. The body and sleeves are worked in soothing stockinette. Worked in a worsted weight yarn, this sweater will knit up quickly!
