Here’s a stunning jumper for any knitting enthusiast. The first band is a city skyline with SYDNEY above, then the little Birkenhead ferry. Next come the Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and a motif of yachts. Luna Park, Centrepoint Tower and a row of waratahs are featured on the yoke. Working the motifs is easy, as the pattern faces you when knitting in the round.

Armhole shaping takes place during a simple dot pattern. Yoke shaping occurs in the spaces between the motifs.
