This is a traditional top down, yoked jumper in its construction. It has a colourwork motif inspired by peacock feathers. However, much to my delight when I’d knitted it, the peacock feathers also remind me of thistles or seed heads. It is shaped at the waist and designed to be slim fitting. The pattern is sized from UK 10-20.
I’ve used traditional, undyed Shetland 4 ply wool for the main colour, and to get the lustrous mix of Emerald green, bright blue and purple, I’ve used a variegated, hand- dyed sock yarn in those colours
