Check mate! step up your colourwork skills with Susie John’s geometric jumper

Comfy and cosy with a burst of colour, this eye-catching knit is a winter winner for several reasons. First off, it's worked in the round up to the armholes, which reduces the amount of sewing up required. The high neck keeps out pesky winter chills and it's made in an aran yarn so the fabric is warm and snuggly, and grows quickly. What’s more, this particular yarn is great value and eco-friendly too – what a package! This design requires you to work the stranded colour pattern both flat in rows and in the round using a circular needle, so just keep an eye on your tension to ensure a nice, even finish.
