The pattern has two colourways with the same amounts, in sizes 8 to 14 years: beige — oatmeal, with the rib, the neckband and the yoke ground in dark black sheep and motifs in light beige and white — and blue — stone blue, with the rib, the neckband and the yoke ground in pale ash and motifs in rough sea and black heather. All eight colours in the pattern are still made.
