Snowflake Christmas Jumper with Wool

This is a lovely design (aka 1950s) but the box square cut let it down and the size 12 of the jumper was too big while the size of the neck was too tight. A more fitted cut would have been much better. I did also try a size 10 but this again would too big in the body and to narrow in the head/neck.

The fit is perfect. Just the right side of a cosy warm jumper. Dressy enough and not too junky. Really love this jumper.

I would normally order a jumper in size 16 as I am a 14 but like a bit of room when it comes to jumpers and coats. Ordered this jumper in a size 16 but found that it was too large. Unfortunately out of stock so I cannot re-order in size 14 - would recommend this jumper otherwise.

I bought this because I liked the unusual, but still retaining some traditional features, nature of this jumper. Just one criticism. WHY? WHY? WHY? do designers seem to want to do little quirky bits, e.g. the reserve fairisle on the yoke. This is not very practical and looks a little odd. I am still keeping jumper as this feature is not dominant but hope my finger nails or rings don't get caught. Please don't bother to do this sort of thing on what is already a wonderful tradition in knitwear. Next time I will NOT buy.

I loved this jumper as soon as I saw it on the rack, husband bought it for me as a Christmas present, it's all that I expected, good quality and lovely and warm to wear.

Lovely winter jumper, fantastic for walks but beware if buying it for wearing to your mother-in-laws christmas nibbles gathering, it's very thick and you'll bake faster than the pudding.
