This over-sized jumper features a very bold take on animal print. Created using the Fair Isle method, this is quite an advanced knit, but well worth the effort! This pattern includes charts colour-coded for different sizes, so I would only really recommend it if you are quite an experienced (or very ambitious!) knitter. Techniques include knit and purl stitches, Fair Isle colour work from charts, increases and decreases and picking up stitches.
