YARN ALTERNATIVES
You can use any DK-weight yarn that works to the same tension for this design.

TENSION
Work a tension swatch as follows: 20ch.
Row 1: 1tr in fourth ch from hook and each ch along, turn – 18tr.
Row 2: 1tr in each st along, turn.
Rows 3–10: Rep Row 2.
Finished swatch should measure 10 x 10cm/4 x 4in using 4mm hook, or size needed to obtain tension.

PATTERN NOTES
The jumper is constructed from four panels, one each for the front and back and two for the sleeves. Each panel is worked in rows. There is some shaping for the shoulder. The jumper is assembled, and ribbed edging is added.
Change colour by pulling new colour through as you finish the stitch. Carry the yarn you are not using by working over the yarn as you make the stitches. Keep any yarn ends on the WS of the work. For an oversized look, we would suggest sizing up.
