The Eyre Pullover is an intricate cable jumper knit from the top-down in the round. It combines aspects of a traditional Aran fisherman’s shirt with a relaxed, feminine fit for a modern twist on a classic style. The perfect mix of vintage and contemporary - just like Eyre square in Galway, Ireland where its name comes from.

Note that the cables are charted only.
