Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Winter 2009/10: “Drysdale draws attention to the silhouette of the season by bordering her sloped-shoulder tunic with wide ribbing and cinching it with a dramatic drawstring-style belt. Worked in flecked ‘Tweedy Alpaca’ from Tahki Yarns/Tahki.Stacy Charles, the tunic has distinctive slit sash openings, which are made by working sections of stitches back and forth and joining them.”
