Aquatint

• Product description

  With a subtlety akin to soft watercolors, this delicately detailed pullover reads like a ready-to-wear garment with thoughtful finishing details sure to engage a knitterly mind. After the body and sleeves are worked flat in pieces and seamed, the neckband is then picked up and knit in the round to completion. Small lace eyelets accent a slimming, geometric front panel that flatters any shape, and an optional, innovative double-knit hem anchors the easy flow of Peerie’s finished fabric. Bring polish and simplicity to your style with the deliciously minimalist Aquatint pullover.
