doop is very fussy about his clothes. Very very very fussy. However he has graciously allowed me to knit him a jumper.

I'm using black Sirdar Wow because he likes chenillyness but he also likes throwing his jumpers in the washer and tumbler. This stuff is velvety soft but 100% polyester.

I'm basing it on the top-down raglan pattern but because the Wow gauge is so huge I had to change the neck a bit to make it fit over a head. I also wrote out the pattern in detail because I'm using baby cable rib and I wanted the cables to line up.

The pattern

Use 6mm needles. Size: one size fits doop (36cm collar).
