Truly Myrtle

Embrace the power and the strength that comes with rising from the ashes!

Phoenix is a bold and sumptious sweater and her striking slipped-stitch yoke is cleverly worked with just one colour per row. No fussy yarn wrangling! Just beautiful, refreshing slipped stitches for a knockout effect.

A perfect layer over jeans, leggings or skirts on winter days, Phoenix breathes new life into “cosy” with a great big splash of “OMG fabulous!”

Using plump aran-weight yarn, Phoenix is a great knit for even new sweater knitters.

Worked from the top down, she knits up quickly and uses fun techniques that are explained clearly and are simple to master.

The colourwork instructions are detailed in easy-to-follow charts.
