The design features a natural rolled edge at the cuffs, waist and button band. There is no shaping from the cast on to the yoke as the chevron patten naturally pulls the fabric in.

Pairing a workhorse yarn with a specialty yarn brings out the best features of both and makes it possible to splurge a bit on the specialty “impact” yarn.

I designed this for my good friend, Martha, pictured. She’s an architect and likes black. I like it too but not unrelieved. This is our compromise.

Hope you like it--let me know?
