Paint a picture with yarn! The Sheep Jumper is a nostalgic statement piece, colours and textures blending to make a pastoral scene of sheep frolicking beside a fruit tree, with a country cottage in the distance, and a lone cloud in a summer sky. It is knitted using the intarsia technique, and even includes bobbles.

The sweater is knit flat in four pieces from the bottom up, with a slash neck and dropped shoulders. With up to 15 different yarn shades, with only small amounts of each shade used, it is fantastic stashbusting pattern!
