This simple and stylish jumper is bound to become a winter favourite. These fluffy sweaters have been all over the high street this year, and they’ve been really popular with the younger crowd. No reason they should have all the fun though – we think it will suit all ages.

Knitted on circular needles, you’ve only got a few seams to deal with, and using basic shaping and stitches means this is a great project for knitting while you’re watching the TV. The only thing you’ll need to keep an eye out for is that you catch the binder thread with your needle and that you’re not just knitting through the fluff! The best part is that the yarn will do all the hard work for you.
