Honey Badger Jumper
The Honey Badger is a fierce and fearless animal, ready to take on anything that comes its way and not afraid to go after those hard to get things in life.
The Honey Badger Jumper is a warm and vibrant knit, that should bring you confidence to take on the world. The simple colourwork body is contrasted against the bright sleeves and yoke, accentuating the length of your arms across the chest.
Knit in a luxuriously soft baby alpaca yarn with waist and bust shaping and raglan decreasing in the yoke, this jumper will keep you going through whatever life throws your way.
The Honey Badger Jumper is knit in the round from the bottom up with waist and bust shaping, a yoke construction and raglan shaping with short rows to create the neckline. The body is knit in a two-toned colourwork pattern while the sleeves and yoke are knit in a contrasting solid colour. It is seamless except for the armpits.
