We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this unique sweater along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting! Please be aware this kit does not include the pattern as it is in our Annual – and we know many of you will have one already. Please visit this link to pick one up if you need a copy of the pattern.
The Oare Water Jumper pattern is designed by Emily K Williams, for our Annual (issue two).

This garment is to be worn with 0cm / 0” – 7.5cm / 3” positive ease, depending on which style you fancy. Both yarns have different characteristics, so the Devonia Version has more drape and the Exmoor Sock Version has a more fitted look. We love them both!
