The Ziggy Stardust design comes in 3 styles, Ziggy which uses a colour changing yarn to give its bold pattern and comes as a long jacket or jumper, and the 3rd style of the design which is its alter ego Stardust. Stardust mixes a glitter tinsel yarn as its colour pop to make a dramatic impact and has a zip fastening for a contemporary fit, perfect to create that jazzy party piece!

The pattern is written in UK terms and fits across sizes XS-4XL. A versatile design with 2 sleeve types, worked in a 2 row repeat with easy ability to lengthen and shorten the body and sleeves for that perfect fit. All 3 designs use the technique of keeping live stitches when colour changing to carry the yarn up in order to eliminate ends!

This project can also be a really brilliant stash buster- Keep the background colour the same with different alternated rows, or change every row, and use up your chunky stash scraps for a super stripy design. You will be left with more ends, but the right pieces are worth sewing ends in for!

The Ziggy design is a great make aimed at all ages. Make that perfect spring coatigan, jumper to throw over jeans or that super extravagant party piece! This piece, once you have established the zigzag pattern is quick to whip up, and suitable for beginners with the help of step by step photos and schematics.
