The jumper begins with the back and front

first in rows, then the front is worked with
the neck shaping. The shoulders are
knitted together using a three-needle
cast-off. Stitches are picked up around the
neck and from stitches held at the front and
b a c k ; t h e n e c k i s f i n i sh e d w it h a n i- c ord
cast-off. Stitches are picked up around the
armhole to knit the sleeves downwards in
the round, finishing with an i-cord cast-off.

“I WAS inspired by built structures
when designing this colourblock top:
the lace is reminiscent of bridge cables,
and the plaited cables are the support
pillars,” explains Mary Henderson.
“Rowan Felted Tweed gives a flexible
handle and softness to the design, so
it is a comfortable garment to wear.
It begins with separate front and back
b ord e r s to g ive si d e ve nt s, a n d i s t h e n
j oi n e d to work i n t h e rou n d. T h e sh or t
sleeves are worked from the shoulders
down, and the neck and sleeves use an
i-cord cast-off for a neat finish.”
