“This semi-dolman sleeved sweater has a mix of patterns for a gansey-like fabric,” says designer Pat Menchini.
Long and comfortable, the sweater is knitted in Sirdar’s Harrap Tweed, a soft, easy care wool blend that comes in rich shades with little flecks of bright colour. The sleeves are worked top down, so it’s easy to adjust the finished length.
