The Ladybird and Butterfly Jumpers are simple raglans knitted in parts with a front neck fastening for ease of dressing. Instructions are written and include charts for the colourwork. The examples are knitted in Willow and Lark Ramble but any good quality yarn of the same gauge ( standard DK) will produce a good result. For sizes 1 -9 years you will need 3 (4) (5) (6) (6) x 50g balls in main colour and small amounts of three further colours. Children and adults alike will love the row of ladybirds or butterflies at the chest on this spring?summer knit.
