Pattern Notes
This jumper is knitted in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a corrugated rib band. Steeks are worked at the armholes and v-neck. The shoulders are joined using a three needle bind off. The sleeves are picked up around the armoles and worked downwards towards the cuff. Two sleeve length options are given for each size. There is a chart for each size with a corresponding steek chart. along with written instructions. The sample shown in the photographs is the fourth size, worn by our male model with 3.75cm (1.5in) of positive ease and by our female model with 14cm (5.5in) of positive ease.
