The Ray pattern is a round, crew neck pullover with a chevron textured pattern throughout the body and sleeves. The chevron patterning makes the hemline edge appear scaloped. The set-in sleeves have slight shaping in the cap area. The collar is picked-up from the body and knit-on in the finishing stages.

There is also a round-neck sleeveless top version (Ray Top).
