If you are fairly new to knitting and would like

to experiment with colourwork, this pattern is

a fantastic place to start. The majority of this

garment is worked in stocking stitch and only

requires a small amount of simple shaping.

However, there are two stripe patterns for you

to try your hand at. Simple yet effective, these

stripes will transform your plain white sweater

into a trendy statement piece that could be

straight off the runway

SHAPING

When faced with a long

instruction that has several steps

it may help to jot down each

stage separately in a notebook

so you can tick them off as you

go. When you see the direction

‘AT THE SAME TIME’ this means

you need to combine two

instructions, so be sure to read

the whole section through first

before you start.
