Hold together two strands of Lilt to knit this super-soft jumper from the top down. Four shades are held together in an ombre pattern, to create seven gorgeous blocks of gradient colour. Or knit as a single colour if stripes aren't your thing.
Worked from the top-down in the round with two yarns held throughout, switching colours to create a gentle colour-blocked gradient. Circular yoke.
22 sts and 30 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch in the round, holding two strands of Lilt and using 4.00mm needles. How to check and adjust your tension,
This pattern is designed for Lilt held double and knit on larger needles than usually recommended for this yarn.
3.75mm and 4.00mm (40cm & 80-100cm) circular needles or DPN’s, or size needles to give correct tension. One long circular needle of each size (3.75mm and 4.00mm) may be used instead, if the Magic Loop technique is utilised.
