Design 

The front, back and sleeves are worked separately from the bottom-up.  Stitches are picked up to complete the neckline and one shoulder has a 3-button fastening to make it easier to lift the jumper over the child’s head.  A chart is provided to complete the motif.

Skill

Intermediate.  Written instructions provided, but you will also need experience of working from a chart to complete the motif.
