An all-season over-top featuring gently dropped shoulders. Elegant diamond panels are filled with moss stitch and framed on each side by narrow verticals of twisted stitches and slender garter stitch panels. A matching vertical runs down the centre front and back, creating a balanced, flattering silhouette with a nod to classic Aran styling. All edges are finished in simple single rib for a clean, refined look. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
