Hi Holly, Your jumper looks wonderful. I am currently knitting this and have just arrived at the Yoke part. I am nervous of the next bit and hope it turns out as beautifully as yours has! Sara.
Hi Sara,
Thank you. If you have managed to get the sleeves and body joined up and on one pair of circular needles, you’re past the hardest bit! Haha! Let me know if you get stuck but I’m sure you’ll nail it.
Good luck!

Hi Landi,
Thank you. I used 4mm needles for ribbing and 5mm for everything else including the colourwork. The pattern suggests using 5.5mm on the colourwork but I found that as the yarn is so fragile in places, my tension was naturally looser than usual and so I didn’t need the larger needles.
Hope that helps!

Hi Margaret,
Thank you. I used the Istex Lettlopi yarn that was listed in the pattern which worked out at about £30 to make the jumper. I had to purchase the wool from Deramores as Love Knitting don’t stock it. If you plan to use this yarn please note that it is very fine in places and breaks easily so you have to be gentle. Also, if you want your jumper to look like the pattern picture, be sure to order LIGHT Ash Heather not Ash Heather as listed on the pattern.
Good luck!

Lovely pattern and easy to follow. However, pattern lists required yarn as Ash Heather when you actually need LIGHT Ash Heather. Unfortunately I didn’t discover this until I had completed the jumper, hence the darker shade of top section!
