NICOSIA - a beautiful lady’s jumper in 3-ply weight wool. The side seams are a little displaced being able to run up cable sts each side. The welt as well as the cuffs are made in a ribbed pattern with small cables in between. There are ¾ long sleeves with saddle shaped shoulders giving the jumper an optimal fit. The large collar is made in a pattern which turns out a bit similar to fisherman’s st. The jumper is not very difficult to make - it takes a bit of patience and accuracy. Detailed written pattern with the charts. Worked flat. A very enjoyable work!
