Drum is the Scottish word for ridge. Drumbrae means the ‘Brow of the ridge’.

The pullover features a travelling, ridge-like cable pattern, where the cable crosses are worked in the opposite direction to the travelling direction. On the body the cables are travelling in a V-formation. On the sleeves the cable pattern travels in a gentle spiral on a background of a simple rib pattern.

The pullover has set in sleeves and a round neckline. It is worked flat and in pieces in Aran weight yarn. The neckband is worked in the round.
