Product Details
Some years ago I designed a hat (Trees and Diamonds) based on my experiments playing with a stranded knit diamond with 9 stitches on each side. This started as an informal knitalong and turned out to be my first paid pattern after some encouragement from Amy Singer of Knitty, who took the time, unasked, to look at it after a twitter discussion. I have used the motifs from this experiment for the patterns on this jumper.
The jumper is drop shoulder, with minimal shaping. There are steeks at front neck and armscyes to allow almost the entire garment to be knitted in the round.
The body is knitted from the bottom up, starting with corrugated rib with a contrasting colour, followed by a band of diamonds. The main body is knitted in lice stitch pattern, which makes a thick, warm fabric but at the same time is economical with yarn as every other row is knitted plain. The diamond pattern is repeated on the yoke, followed by a ro of trees, based on a traditional Tree of Life design.

- Notes
- A sticky wool yarn is the best for steeking, as it is less prone to coming undone when the steeks are cut. Advice on reinforcing steeks is given.
