Design No 10702
The Whirlpool Sweater is a beautiful knit for fans of top-down knitting patterns. With its elegant wide neck and trumpet sleeves, you knit this pattern in simple stocking stitch, in-the-round, so there’s less sewing up. The increases at the yoke create a mock raglan seam with texture inspired by corals.

About This Yarn
Sirdar Jewelspun With Wool is a cosy, self-striping, lightweight, machine-washable wool blend. The stripes appear as you knit, in the direction of your rows, and will appear narrower in a circular knit than in a pieced design. Sirdar Jewelspun With Wool has incredible meterage too; you can make a cosy hat and generous co-ordinating snood with just one ball.
What’s it like to work with?
This soft, irresistibly squishy yarn is lovely to work with. Sirdar Jewelspun With Wool knits up quickly and adds effortless stripes to simple stitches and depth to textured stitch patterns.
What is it best for?
Perfect for cosy quick knit autumn layers, winter sweaters, scarves and blankets and for adding definition and drama to textured stitches.
