Donegal-spun merino wool is the perfect autumn companion – warm, breathable and beautifully robust. It keeps the chill (and even a bit of drizzle), while naturally regulating your temperature as you walk. You don’t realise quite how clever wool is… until the day you forget to wear it!
The wonder of wool.

SUGGESTED NEEDLES (not included)
6mm
CONSTRUCTION
The back and front are knitted flat from the bottom up in seperate pieces and joined together. The neck and armhole edges are knitted at the same time as when knitting the back and front so no stitches to pick up.
TECHNIQUES USED
Cast on, knit, purl, decreasing at neck shaping, cast off. Joining seams. Optional but recommended to create a joy of joining your pieces: mattress stitch and three needle cast off.
GAUGE (tension)
14 stitches and 20 rows to 10cm/4ins square over stocking stitch. I obtained this gauge with 6mm needles.
It is important to obtain the correct gauge so do work a swatch before you start the pattern and change your needle size to achieve the correct gauge if you need to.
FINISHED MEASUREMENT
I recommend a positive ease of 2-6”/5-15cm at the chest.
