Knitted in three colours, the simple mosaic-stitch pattern is reminiscent of the tweedy patterns created in the Outer Hebrides for Harris Tweed®. Easy to memorise, this pattern would look beautiful in so many clashing, tonal or complementary colour combinations.

The jumper is designed to be worn by anyone, and can easily be knitted to any length, so it will work well with trousers or a skirt, and could even be lengthened to create a stunning winter dress.
