The garment is worked using 3 yarns throughout by working one row in each colour in turn.

The jumper is a gansey style but has been knitted in flat pieces. The shoulders are joined and then the sleeves stitches are picked up around the armhole and knitted down.

A Knotted Edge/Channel Island cast on has been used at the bottom of the Front and Back pieces and instructions for this cast on are included in the pattern
