Why you'll love it
- A stripe every six roundsBody and sleeves are knitted in six-round stripes, a new colour each time, up to a yoke full of roses and small flowers.
- Flowers sewn on at the endWhen the knitting is done, small flowers are sewn into the roses on the sleeves and yoke — into every other rose, or wherever you like.
- Moss-stitch edgesThe hem, cuffs and neckband begin in moss stitch, and the neckband is folded in half to the inside and sewn down.
- Nine colours, three updatedMilkyway, royal fuchsia and mimosa stand in for the book’s lilac, light red and sun yellow. Any of the nine can be swapped in the colour picker at no charge.
