Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Holiday 2008: “Deborah Newton know a classic looks good any time, on anybody. The Diamonds in Relief pullover’s high-relief trellis-cable panel grows organically out of bottom ribbing, while a carefully designed raglan shoulder - deeper in the front than in the back - works as well on little shoulders as on broad ones. A garter neckband adds casual, easy versatility.”
