Inspired by the Shepherds Plaid motif from Galashiels (also represented in the Welcome Panel of the Great Tapestry of Scotland, our theme for Tangled Galashiels 2023), the Tangled Galashiels Festival Jumper is a very striking, colourful and easy to knit garment!
Knitted in the round from the top down, it allows the knitter to try - as - you - go, with options to adjust the length of the body and sleeves.
Tangled Galashiels Festival Jumper only uses 3 colours of DK weight yarn, yet it is a very versatile project that can look totally different depending on the chosen colour combinations!
