Bunaberry

Sale price$8.00

Bunaberry was originally published as part of a knitwear collection published by PomPom Press. This collection was based on knitwear my mum designed in the 70s in Shetland.

This sweater is worked from the bottom up in the round and then divided at underarm to work front and back separately. The balloon-shaped sleeves are worked top down after picking up stitches around the armhole and the sleeve cap is shaped with short rows. The sleeves have a choice of two Fair Isle bands at the widest point.
