THE JUMPER YOUR MOTHER
WOULD HAVE APPROVED OF

Cable knit has been quietly getting people through British autumns for generations, and there is a reason nobody has improved on it. Delia is the version you will actually wear, rather than the one that sits in a drawer looking worthy. It goes over jeans on a walk and over a skirt at somebody's birthday, and looks entirely at home doing both. Buy it once and it will be in the rotation for years.

WHY THE DELIA?

The pattern does the work:Twisted cables running down the front give it depth and interest, so it never reads as plain even in black. No brooch, no scarf, nothing extra required to make it look like you thought about it.

Comfortable without going shapeless:Roomy enough to move in and gentle over the middle, but the cables give it enough structure to hold its line all day. It will not be sagging at the shoulder by teatime.

Right across the seasons:Warm on its own in October, easy under a coat in January, fine over a shirt on a cool evening in May. Very few jumpers earn that much of the year.

Eight colours, and one for every mood:Beige, Grey, Black and Blue for the everyday. Green, Red, Purple and Yellow when you would rather not blend in. The Green surprises people who usually stay in neutrals.

Honest sizing, UK 8 to UK 22:Sizes run from UK 8 right through to UK 22, and it is true to size with a relaxed line. Take your usual, or go up one if you like more room through the body.
