With such a special yarn at stake, it has to be classic a turtle neck that will remain a wardrobe staple for years to come. Carefully fitted at the shoulder to allow for just the right mix of comfortable ease but slim enough to be elegant and flattering, the neck is designed to be slightly lower than a traditional turtle neck to flatter those with a larger bust or those who typical consider higher necks not to suit them. Small details like the double knit neck and cuffs and subtle sleeve and shoulder shaping make this a satisfying knit and an even more satisfying wear!

Note on Sizing

The fit of the jumper is oversized which means that 20cm of positive ease have been incorporated into the fit. The Bust Circumference shown is for the finished garment. Measure your bust circumference and add 20 cm to this measurement to determine what size you should knit. If you prefer a less oversized look then consider going down a size.
