Dapper Month 8: The Norseman Colourwork Jumper c. 1949
Now let’s move on from tweed to some colourwork!
Most of the colourwork patterns in my collection are sized for 36-38 inch chests so I was really happy to find one to share that’s a bit larger.
This jumper uses a combination of intarsia and fair-isle stitches, and calls for a lovely colour combination of camel, dark brown, banana and cream. It would look great knitted up!
