This fox jumper is loose fit. I guess you might call if a boyfriend jumper or a sloppy joe. I love this style of garment and designed it using one of my favourite shop-bought jumpers as a guide. I would advise you to stick to the given number of cast on stitches, but you could adjust the length of the body and sleeves to suit the wearer. The finished chest measurements may seem huge, but as you can see it looks great. I am wearing the middle size in the photos.

The sleeves are quite loose, but then gather in to a neat fitted cuff. The neck is a boat edge, which I thought fitted with the stripes on the sleeves to give a bit of a retro feel.

I knitted the cuffs, neck edge, and sleeve stripe to tie in with the foxes, but you could use main shade for any of these if you choose. If you do you will need more main shade wool than listed.

The materials you will need are: 4-ply wool 250g/280g/320g Main Shade, 50g Foxy Brown, 20g Cream and Black. Knitting needles 3.5mm and 3.75mm straight, and 3.75mm doublepoint or circular for the neck.
