Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

The pattern is graded for sizes Age 9 - 10, (XS, S-M, M-L, XL) and uses 6 (6, 7, 8, 8) x 50g balls Libby Summers Fine Aran in main colour and 1 x 25g ball of Libby Summers Fine Aran in contrast colour. You will need to add 4mm and 5mm needles to knit this up.

The pattern is written in the traditional way, bottom up, with the neck border knitted afterwards by picking up stitches. The sleeves are set-in, and the border is a lacey rib pattern. The jumper is a fairly fitted style, being designed to fit with 3-4cm (1-1½in) positive ease, less for the smaller sizes and more for the larger sizes.
