Cleckheaton Merino Shawl Collar Jumper - 1032

Effortless style and lasting comfort come together in the Cleckheaton Merino Shawl Collar Jumper. With its classic shawl neckline, this is a lovely everyday layer to pull on with jeans or wear over a shirt when the weather cools.

For an alternative yarn, try Cleckheaton Country Naturals 8 ply, subject to achieving the pattern tension and checking the total metreage required. Leaflet 1032 includes five sizes from S to XXL.

This listing is for the knitting pattern leaflet only. Yarn, needles and the finished jumper are not included.

Sizes & measurements

The finished chest measurements allow 9cm of positive ease in each size.

Yarn & substitution guidance

Suggested alternative: Cleckheaton Country Naturals 8 ply. Swatch before starting to check that you can achieve 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch. The substitute may give a different feel and drape from the original yarn.

The original pattern lists 16 (18, 20, 22, 24) balls of Cleckheaton Midlands Merino 8 ply for sizes S (M, L, XL, XXL). These are original-yarn quantities, not confirmed Country Naturals ball counts. Match the total metreage of the original yarn requirements rather than substituting ball for ball. Check the leaflet and original yarn metreage before purchasing.

• One pair each of 3.25mm and 4mm knitting needles, or sizes needed to achieve the correct tension
• 3.25mm circular knitting needle, 80–120cm long
