This chic jumper, with its fascinating pattern of cables and ribs, is knitted in a pure British wool
DARIO TUBIANA
THE CENTRAL panel on this sweater by Dario Tubiana features rippling cables on a background of double moss stitch. The sides of the front, and the back piece, are worked in an interesting ribbed pattern, which is echoed on the cuffs of the reverse stocking stitch sleeves. The ribbed neckband is folded and stitched in place for a neat finish.
ColourLab DK from West Yorkshire Spinners is a pure British wool that’s available in a wide choice of bright and neutral colours.
