I’m a big fan of stranded colourwork and woodland creatures – so when the two are combined, I’m in heaven! This little jumper is work ed in the round, so there’s no seaming to worry about and it grows surprisingly quickly, with practically no fiddly finishing at the end – just wash, block and wear.
