Description

This little jumper has long been one of our all-time favourites. Like every Midori design, it exudes simplicity and attention to the smallest details.

Main project requires  up to worsted weight wool yarn but for an airy texture you can also use fingering weight summer yarn or mohair yarn and so we decided to make it in Aestiva for an ultra-lightweight version to wear on summer evenings .

The pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. You can choose sleeve shape from:

• Long sleeves & tight cuffs (dolman sleeves)
• 3/4 sleeves & wide cuffs
• Short sleeves (Tee)

It is a relatively quick project at a loose gauge with big size needles.
