• The Knitters Delight pattern features a decorative vertical rib and eyelet lace pattern which is designed to be worn fitted to the body. This pattern then moves into an exquisite lace pattern on both the front and the back of the jumper. It is knitted in separate pieces, including neat set-in sleeves; the pieces are then sewn together. The neck line is finished with an opening to one side with a dainty button and button loop attached.

  Knitters Delight is knitted using Susan Crawford Breeze, a fingering weight yarn created from Merino and Cotton, and is shown here in shade Oyster.

  Our model Charlie is shown wearing the first size to fit chest 76-86cm (30-34in). The garment is designed to be worn with between zero and 10cm (4in) of negative ease.

  The pattern includes instructions for five sizes to fit chest measurements between 76cm (30in) and 132cm (52in) and contains both clear written pattern directions, together with charted instructions for the lace pattern section; plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
