• Product description

  Meet Aldous, a study in brioche stitch that makes for a welcomingly warm and airy garment. Center panels of honeycomb brioche, flanked by brioche ribbing, is a feast for the hands — dare to resist embracing the fabric while it still grows on your needles! Tubular edges and twisted ribbing at the hems, combined with a folded-over neckband, only add to the cozy intricacies of this garment. Work Aldous in Shelter for the perfect marriage between lofty fiber and plush stitches.

  This pullover is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up. After assembly, the collar is picked up and worked in the round, then folded and stitched to the inside of the garment.

  Designer: Véronik Avery

  Collection: Deep Fall 18
