LISA RICHARDSON’S latest design for The Knitter is a raglan jumper with a modern, cropped shape, three-quarter-length batwing sleeves, ribbed edgings, and a glamorous beaded pattern on the shoulders. Lisa has knitted her jumper using Rowan’s Fine Art 4ply, a handpainted yarn which is available in variegated colourways as well as more subtly blended tones, as used here.

Requires about 1,200 size 8 seed beads that are prestrung on the yarn prior to knitting.
