From ‘Sweaters From The Seaton Collection’: This is a great sweater for either men or women. It is substantial enough to be a good, practical outdoor sweater – but I have seen it look really good worn in the city as a mini-dress. The pattern is inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry which, aside from its historical value and the epic, compelling story it tells, is a beautifully composed and paced work of art with its lively and vivid detail, and its wonderful natural-dyed, tawny browns and reds now mellow and faded.

The sweater employs 1 Main colour (A) and 11 Contrast colours (B – N). The actual yarns used are not mentioned in the pattern, only a suggested weight of yarn. There is also a beige version pictured in the pattern but the yarn details and different graph pattern are not provided.
