PIP COLOURWORK yarn was
developed by baa ram ewe to
celebrate Yorkshire’s tradition of
colourwork knitting, as you can read
overleaf. Here, the company’s own
Graeme Knowles-Miller has used
Pip to create this beautiful sweater.
The body is knitted in the round,
with armhole steeks that are cut
open before picking up stitches
to work the top-down sleeves.BODY
