This jumper is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear! It features textured garter stitch at the hem and sleeves and all over bobbles. The text is worked using the stranded method and stands out against a bold red background. Techniques include knit and purl stitches, bobble stitches, increases and decreases, stranded colour work from charts and picking up stitches.
