Inspired by the tradition of choosing a Rose Queen or May Queen in rural villages, the woollen industry chose a Wool Queen to represent them and inspire other women to join the industry.

This is a form fitting, roll neck, ribbed jumper with cables arranged asymmetrically front and back, and raglan sleeves. There is also one cable on the cuffs. It is knitted flat in a cozy DK yarn and then seamed.

This sweater is slightly shaped at the waist which combined with the ribbing gives a flattering fit.

Cable needle required as well as stitch markers and stitch holders.

The pattern is available as part of a knitting kit for between £85.00 and £115.00.
