The model in these pictures is Eid Aljazairli, a young Syrian refugee who lives with the Bliss family. He has been training for the Olympics as a swimmer for the Refugee Olympic Team, and is thrilled to add modelling to his skills in Debbie’s Olympics-inspired collection. Worked in stocking stitch, the S.Y.R Sweater has block stripes and is a fabulous first knit for a beginner, or an experienced knitter who is looking for a relaxing pattern! Knit flat and seamed.
