Heligan is as simple as it is charming: the cables do all the work, creating a wonderful sense of movement as they cascade down the body. The jumper is worked top down, in the round using lace-weight yarn. The increases are worked within the cables, so they almost double in size by the time you are finished. At the end comes the fun part where you unravel all the stitches between the cable columns setting the top free to swing around the body! Available in nine sizes, with finished chest circumferences ranging from 85cm (32.25in) to 169cm (64in).
