How cool does this guy look? He’s not some tree leaning cardigan model. This guy is hanging out in London, listening to jazz in smoky basements and going on CND marches.

Focusing on the knitting again, this jumper can be made in 3ply, 4ply or DK yarn. I have never seen this on a pattern before. How is this possible? In the four pages they have managed to squeeze in three sets of directions! That makes it a perfect jumper for those yarns you love the colour of, that aren’t the right size for what you thought you were making next, or whatever you have a lot of in your stash. Unfortunately the amount of balls needed is by weight, so a bit of guess work might have to go on to decide how many balls you’ll need.
