Long jumper with waist shaping and lacy details
Subtle lace details and waist shaping add to the feminine style of this jumper
LONG AND draping, this lightweight jumper by Elly Doyle has been designed with waist shaping for a feminine fit. It has a round neckline with a V-shaped panel of lace and cables, which is emphasised by a pattern of garter stitch stripes on either side. Triangular lace and cable panels are also worked above the garter stitch sleeve cuffs. Elly’s jumper is knitted in Baa Ram Ewe’s Titus, a special blend of Wensleydale and Bluefaced Leicester wool with British alpaca that’s spun in Yorkshire.
