This jumper is inspired by one of my daughter’s drawings. She said these are just random animals, not anything specific but she did want to show how they move. Hence the name “Animal Antics”. All proceeds from this pattern will off course be used to design more wonderful patterns for her.

It is knitted on a Brother standard gauge knitting machine with punchcard and ribber.

Each section is knitted flat and seamed. The overall shape is a modified drop shoulder with shoulder shaping and simple set in sleeves. There is some shaping at the underarms to give it a better fit. The body is knitted straight. The crew neck, cuffs and bottom edge are finished with 1x1 rib. The colours for the sleeves have been reversed to add extra interest.

Yarn: Drops Fabel 4 ply in two colours (Light Pearl Grey and Black). I used 250 g of each colour.
