A bottom-up modified drop-shoulder jumper, featuring lace details and twisted rib designed to hug the waist.

Hairst means ‘Autumn’ or ‘The Harvest’ in Scots. Created in a lofty aran yarn knitted at a medium gauge, the garment hangs beautifully and will provide quite the hug throughout the year. Though Hairst is a particularly good garment for layering, it feels particularly special for the autumn months.
