Knitted in a chunky yarn, this jumper features a bold star motif in a metallic yarn for extra impact. It is created using a mixture of techniques - stranded for the stitches around the star and intarsia for the star itself. The jumper is worked flat from the bottom up with minimal shaping. The collar is picked up at the end and worked in the round. Techniques include knit and purl stitches, intarsia and stranded colour work from a chart, increases and decreases, picking up stitches and working in the round.
