Embrace the autumn cosiness with this oversize and allover textured jumper in celebration of the Goddess of the Harvest, Lugh. Enjoy the mindfulness of knitting this warm, soft and drapey drop shoulder as the evenings close in. Originally published in Knitting Magazine (Issue 263), Lugh has very minimal shaping, allowing the knitter to focus on the texture and details, combining the entertaining techniques of cables and Intarsia knitting, together with the added touches of open hems and cuffs, topped up by a very cosy shawl collar for added warmth and style.
