Hairst Jumper

A bottom-up modified drop-shoulder jumper, featuring lace details and twisted rib designed to hug the waist. Hairst means ‘Autumn’ or ‘The Harvest’ in Scots. Created in a lofty aran yarn knitted at a medium gauge, the garment hangs beautifully and will provide quite the hug throughout the year. Though Hairst is a particularly good garment for layering, it feels particularly special for the autumn months. **SIZES** (Finished Garment Measurements) 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) {6, 7, 8, 9} To fit chest circumference: 77 (87, 97, 107, 117) {127, 137, 147, 157) cm / 30 (34, 38, 42, 46) {50, 54, 58, 62} in Designed to be worn with approx. 15 cm / 6 in positive ease. **YARN:** Zakami Yarns Aran, 75% BFL 25% Mid-Brown Masham, 160 m / 175 yds per 100g. 4 (5, 6, 6, 7) {8, 9, 11} skeins Sample 1 (Earth-Scented Portrait): shown in size 2 and cropped by 7.5 cm / 3 in, with 5 – 7 cm / 2 – 3 in positive ease.
