The Pinafore Jumper is knitted using [link: Susan Crawford Excelana North, fingering weight = /collections/excelana-4-ply :link] a soft, a soft, 100% British wool which shows texture and cables off to great effect. We have used shade
[productlink: Agapanthus = agapanthus :productlink], hand-dyed in-house by Susan and her team, but think this sweater would look fabulous in any one of the 30 shades available!

The pattern includes instructions for seven sizes to fit chest measurements between 71cm (28in) and 117cm (46in) and contains both clear written pattern directions, together with optional charted instructions for the cable pattern; plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
