The Brick Lane Sweater by designer Olga Putano is a colourwork sweater that is worked from the top down and in the round. The motif is very easy to remember and the construction only requires a handful of techniques, making this a wonderful pattern for someone new to either colourwork or garment knitting! The pattern includes the instructions for both short and long sleeves.
The kit includes the following colourways in the required quantities on British Sport from Les Garçons and Fluff from Walcot Yarns × Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available on Ravelry.
