Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2007: “Graded shades - oak to graphite to brownstone to stone - migrate south on this instant Kors classic. The oversize cowl-neck tunic has raglan shaping and is knit with two strands of Brown Sheep Company’s ‘Top of the Lamb Sportweight’ held together; the gradual color shifts are achieved by changing the hue combos as you go. The body is worked in all-over cable and multiple rib patterns edged by K2, P2 ribbed bands.”

“Oversized cable and rib pattern pullover with extra long sleeves, deep ribbed edges and collar and gradating stripes.”
