An impressive looking, comfortable and warm jumper for men using rich, diagonal and square colour-work patterns, both as All-Over Patterns and as Bands/ Borders.

This jumper is worked seamlessly in the round for minimum finishing.

Using a light-coloured variegated wool capture the eye and gives the additional impression of three-dimensions.

The individual colour-work patterns used can be found in Alice Starmore’s “Charts for Color Knitting”, Courier Corporation, 1992.
I worked two of her patterns from this book into a complete jumper project.
