Tranquil is a modern-day henley with everyday wearability. Edged with rolled collar and cuffs, the fabric is “ornamented” with slim vertical bars for a flattering line and has plenty of stretch for a comfortable fit. The raglan styling means all-in-one piece knitting and no seams to finish. The sweater is shown in Madelinetosh’s Tosh DK yarn in “fragrant”, which comes in a spectacular array of colors, is soft enough to wear with nothing underneath and is machine washable.
