Oxo Jumper
Oxo is an all-over colourwork sweater that is knitted in the round from the top down. It is a top-to-bottom, fun-to-knit joy of a pattern that grows quickly and is not too complicated, though still a challenge for anyone new to colourwork.
This is the perfect addition to your wardrobe as the days get colder.
