There are one or two advantages to not having a long, hot summer (though I’m a bit sensitive about the amount of rain we’ve had Oop North just lately, so do try not to bait me… \ud83d\ude09 ), the main one being longer months of wool-wearing.<\/p>\n

Which, when you’ve just finished pretty much your favourite jumper yet, is some small consolation to offset the bloody RAIN.<\/p>\n

*Harumph*<\/p>\n

\"pink<\/p>\n

It’s outrageously pink, but striped enough not to be candy floss, and I chose a different solid colour for the sleeves and the main body to shake things up a bit.<\/p>\n

The neck is wonderfully wide, and is left to furl slightly, as are the sleeves. 2-stitch raglan seams (my favourites) and a K2P2 rib at the hem are the final little details.<\/p>\n

I made it with Drops Nepal and Drops Big Delight, which I had LOADS of kicking around, given my total obsession with knitting Beauteous Boot Socks<\/a> \ud83d\ude09 but any Aran weight yarn giving you a gauge of around 16 stitches per 10cm would do nicely.<\/p>\n

\"pink<\/p>\n

If you fancy having a crack at it, you can find the pattern here<\/a>. And if you do<\/em> have a go, do please think about tagging me. I totally love seeing the interpretations of others (we all know it’s impossible not to tweak a pattern, right?)<\/p>\n

\"pink<\/p>\n

The pattern is in one size (pictured) and shown here on me – 5’9″ and a UK size 12 – though the bust is a generous 42″ and there are notes in the pattern about making it bigger.<\/p>\n

So… happy knitting! <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
