Sirdar Pattern 10802.
A popular silhouette made even more special with a clever zip collar detail — the Quartz Zip Collar Jumper is an easy, satisfying knit that lets the self-striping yarn shine. Simple stocking stitch showcases every colour shift beautifully, while the double-worked collar encases the zip for a neat, extra-cosy finish that keeps out the chill in style. Pattern Notes
Set-in sleeves add structure and a polished look, while one-by-one ribs at the hem, cuffs and around the zip fastening give a clean, professional finish throughout. The collar is worked double to encase the zip neatly — a clever technique that is clearly explained and well within reach of a confident beginner. Recommended Yarn — DMC Brio XL
We recommend knitting this pattern in DMC Brio XL, available at The Wool Shop. A chunky weight yarn with a beautiful self-striping effect, each ball is 100g / 155m — perfect for showing off the stripe detail in stocking stitch.
