Child's Round Neck Cable Jumper & Tank Top Jumper Knitting Pattern JB959

£3.50
Knit cosy, stylish layers for children with this James C Brett JB959 knitting pattern. Designed for chunky weight yarns, this practical leaflet includes instructions to make two versatile garments: a classic long-sleeved round neck sweater and a smart sleeveless slipover tank top. Knitting with chunky yarn on larger needles means both projects stitch up quickly, creating warm, substantial pieces that are ideal for school wear, weekend walks, and crisp outdoor adventures. While we do not stock the exact yarn specified on the leaflet, we carry the physical printed pattern alongside a wide variety of quality Chunky yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite shades and cast on straight away.
