Straight, structured columns guide regiments of tiny triangles in RIPRAP, whose square-box construction echoes its geometric patterning. Roomy and drapey, this oversized lacy slipover is the perfect layering piece for year round wear!

RIPRAP is a large rectangle with a ribbed edging along the square armholes—no need for separate sleeves. It’s worked from the bottom up in the round to the underarms and then the front and back are worked flat. The allover-lace stitch pattern is easy to memorize.
