The gorgeous colourings in this lovely yarn requires simple stitchwork. So I designed this sweater allowing the colour changes to do their work and just working the background stitch in simple broken rib. I have added bands of blackberry stitch on the main sections of the back, front and one band at the top of the sleeves to give beautiful texture. The main body is worked bottom up, and the sleeves top down. Full written instructions given.
