It took just under 5 x 100g skeins for the size S - a little less than the pattern called for, which surprised me as my tension was a little under the gauge.
Its a very quick knit, for a jumper, which is the very pleasing thing about knitting with 12ply.
There are plenty of 12ply patterns about, due to the speed of knitting with these chunky yarns, but very few of the patterns are so beautifully fitted. See those nice darts at the back waist! Most 12 ply jumpers have a very cosy and oversized look - dare I say boxy...
The most delightful part of this pattern for me, are the owl cables.
These cables give just enough embellishment to make the jumper interesting to knit and wear, but are not too complicated for a relatively inexperienced knitter.
This is such a quick jumper to knit that I might be able to squeeze in another one whilst it is still cold enough to wear a snuggly alpaca/wool top layer
