Boskular is a colourwork yoke jumper, worked seamlessly from the top down. It features stranded knitting in two colours on the yoke, hem and cuffs. The neckband, hem and cuffs are worked in the contrast colour.

The design is inspired by the way tree branches and roots reach together in the woods, curving overhead and underfoot to create a pattern that is almost architectural, like gothic stained glass windows or Art Nouveau whiplash lines.
