If you have followed along with the Fauxchet Jumper chronicles, you’ll know that I had my work cut out with reverse engineering this pattern and then making it for a person I couldn’t physically try it on while it was in progress.

The original request – photo from Next.co.uk

I could not be more delighted or more relieved. It’s a lovely relaxed fit, just the right length (a little longer than the original but who’s measuring?), and it looks very cool.

      I had all sorts of ideas that it would be too big/baggy/long but that was just my imagination.

      Thank you so much – after imagining that it would be far too big (and you know how powerful imagination can be!) I was thrilled to see it fitting so nicely.

      Thank you! I’m very pleased – though not as pleased as the recipient so professed herself ‘cute as a button’.
