Paragon

A stylish oversized jumper Paragon has a relaxed fit and dolman-sleeves. The back and front are knit in two-colour brioche with German short-rows used to give shape to the shoulders and a pretty garter stitch detailing the yoke and cuffs knit in a contrasting colour of Opus.

The finished pieces are seamed.

Amanda Jones designed Paragon for Walcot Yarns Opus.
