Bread and Jam Jumper
Nothing compares to fresh bread smothered in butter and homemade jam for a wholesome tea-time treat. This seam free, top down jumper is designed with that feeling in mind. It begins with a single-colour brioche collar from which emanates a yoke flavoured with a simple colourwork pattern. The body and sleeves are worked in soothing stockinette, great for relaxing TV knitting. Make it in a natural wool like this 100% Polwarth from Tarndwarncoort and treasure it for many winters to come.
