The Katharine Knitwear Collection is a knitwear collection inspired by the iconic style of Katharine Hepburn. She was a pioneer in the field of wearing trousers, miles ahead of the other style icons of her time. This sweater is one of the key garments, with its characteristic semi-high neckline and flattering style.

Worked top-down. The construction is a mix of round yoke increase and raglan. You need to know how to work short rows to knit the sweater. Italian cast on and bind off.
