Dear Pru

Bread and Jam Jumper

$10.00

This product is a digital knitting pattern designed by Pru Raymond.

Nothing compares to fresh bread smothered in butter and homemade jam for a wholesome tea-time treat. This seam free, top down jumper is designed with that feeling in mind. It begins with a single-colour brioche collar from which emanates a yoke flavoured with a simple colourwork pattern. The body and sleeves are worked in soothing stockinette, great for relaxing TV knitting. Make it in a natural wool like this 100% Polwarth from Tarndwarncoort and treasure it for many winters to come.

Sizes 1(2, 3, 4, 5)(6, 7, 8, 9) with finished garment chest circumference of 81 (91.5, 102, 112, 122)(132, 142, 152.5, 162.5) cm / 32 (36, 40, 44, 48)(52, 56, 60, 64)”.
