The ribbed hemline and balloon sleeves on this knitted sweater elevate a classic design to create a piece which is bound to become a firm favourite. Perfect for wearing in cooler weather. The tweed effect yarn blends several colours together resulting in rich, eye-catching tones. The pattern uses shade Crocus (026) but you can browse the full Shetland Heather Aran collection to create in your own choice of colour!
