Description
This sweater (instructions given for 6 sizes) is knitted in the round, top down, every round knit, each round starts at centre back. There is no short row back shaping, so it can be worn either way round. The sweater is intended to have a loose fit through the body with roughly 7.5-10cm/3-4in ease at the chest.
The cream traditional Hilary Bourne version using Romney Marsh wool is close to the original and is produced on the East Sussex/Kent borders from their own sheep herd. If you’re tempted to try different colour combinations, make sure your yarn of choice knits up to the same tension – Cascade 220 is also suggested here as an alternative as it is readily available and comes in a myriad of different shades … just think of the possibilities!
You can also buy an A5 printed leaflet version of this pattern here.
