About the Hayfield Bonus DK Roll Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern

Create this stylish roll neck using Sirdar Bonus Double Knit or any double knit yarn with a tension of 28 rows x 22 stitches to 10cm. It has a deep roll neck with dropped sleeves and uses fisherman's rib to create a texture on the front and back yoke. 

The construction is a traditional one, knitting a back and front with two sleeves and sewing them together. I always find mattress stitch the best way to sew up my garments.

Colour shown is Signal Rad 997. I do not stock this yarn but it is widely available.
