You will have to wait until 1st December to see the actual jumper though.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern will be written rather than charted, with about 8-10 rows of pattern a day.<br \/>\nFull details of yarns, needles are posted <a href=\"http:\/\/store.buttercupminiatures.co.uk\/newsblog\/?p=18818\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A small free pattern is offered <a href=\"http:\/\/store.buttercupminiatures.co.uk\/newsblog\/?p=18821\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>for those people who wish to practice the cable stitches used in this jumper pattern &#8211; C2B\/C2F and C4B\/C4F.<\/p>\n<p>We will not provide tutorials to go with the project, as has been done for the last few years, as most of the techniques have been covered previously in our hint and tips. <\/p>\n<p>Special offers on patterns will again be offered during the Advent period, each lasting 24 hours.
