Here is a lovely 2 colour jumper which combines a delicate leaf pattern along with some texture stripes. The wide flattering neck and raglan sleeve make it a great knit to wear.

The pattern comes in 10 sizes, from 81cm /32 inch to 127cm/50 inch. The gauge is 21 sts and 30 rows to 10 cm in stocking/stockinette stitch.

The jumper is knitted with Rooster Almerino DK is a lovely natural fibre yarn (50% baby alpaca and 50% merino wool) with an incredible drape. It shows off the patterns used in this jumper really well. For the smallest size, it needs 4 balls in Goosberry and 7 balls in Caviar, with the largest size needing 6 balls in Gooseberry and 11 balls in Caviar.

The pattern uses 3 needle sizes: 3.25mm, 4mm and 4.5mm (US 3, 6 and 7).

The pattern is suitable for the intermediate knitter.
