BLOCKING DIAGRAM
THIS DESIGN from Oksana Dymyd includes flared sleeves, a shaped front hem, and bold keyhole openings on the front and left sleeve. The neck, hem and cuffs are finished with a contrast-colour garter stitch edging, while decorative embroidery is worked around the keyholes. There is also a band of ribbing below the waist on the back body. Oksana’s jumper is knitted in Cascade’s smooth, glowing Ultra Pima DK cotton, which comes in a vast choice of colours.
