Classic Aran style goes minimalist in a pretty pullover with just enough details. Honeycomb panels flanked by crocheted bobbles and mirrored cables adorn the front and back on a plush bed of gently textured moss stitch. Several inches of positive ease keep the fit relaxed enough for weekend wear, but professional good looks make Backbay fetching with a wool skirt and tights or a smart pair of trousers, too.
CONSTRUCTION
The body is worked circularly from the hem to the underarms, then the front and back are worked flat separately. The sleeves are worked circularly from the cuff to the underarm, then the cap is worked flat. The sleeves are sewn into the armholes. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly.
