The Brackenside Pines Jumper is a bottom-up jumper, knitted both flat and in the round. A cosy jumper for the cooler weather, it’s knitted using DK-weight & fingering-weight yarn held together throughout. A simple shape with fun features to keep you interested for the whole project, it includes a tubular cast-on, a tubular bind-off and a fun colourwork pattern with a little texture. The details have been inspired by a glorious line of trees near Whistlebare’s studio in Northumberland. It is a wonderful opportunity to knit this jumper in the yarn made just meters away from the inspiration!
