Japan Sleeves

*A jumper with all the good things we love in knitting! A little bit of Japanese lace (which knits up really quickly), stripes, a really cool construction and at the end a plain stockinette section for mindless TV knitting. Add to that a great and comfortable fit, and the chance to endlessly play with your yarn until you find the perfect color combination.* The instructions for the lace inserts are charted and fully written too. **Sizes:** XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) - To fit a 28/30 (32/34, 36/38, 40/42, 44/46, 48/50, 52/54, 56/58) bust.

The sweater is intended to be worn with 4” of positive ease, which are built in with each size. **Materials:** Yarn: Tosh Merino Light by Madelinetosh (100% Merino; 420y-100g): 2 (2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4) skeins in color A (shown in Astrid Gray) and 1 (1½, 1½, 1½, 2, 2, 2, 2) skeins in color B (shown in Dirty panther).
