I wanted a black jumper (he looks so good in black) He said he wants rainbow colours (he also loves rock ‘n’ roll…especially The Stooges…he’s his father’s boy)!

This was to cut my teeth on a Zimmermann recipe (before I tackle the man-size one)…so glad I made a little one first as I got my head around the instructions (things worked better when I used my own logic - reading and re-reading the instructions for the shirt yoke style was driving me BATS!). Will definitely cast on more than recommended for sleeve next time (although these long skinny sleeves suit Linus). I will also do a folded hem instead of knitting up from the cast on edge as sewing the hem in place is a pain and it’s not as even as it should be because I was grumbling the whole way through! Love pattern - it’s so clever (as everyone already knows).
