Inspired by her rescue dog, Karoo, Hilary Swank set up a charity to bring children in care together with abandoned dogs, so that both could heal each other. This wonderful charity, Hilaroo, has helped countless children spend time and care for dogs in need of love, inspiring them to learn from each other. Debbie Bliss is a dog lover herself, and passionate advocate of charities, and was delighted to design this gorgeous cabled tank with Hilary! It is knitted flat and seamed in a merino wool and cashmere blend that is cosy and super soft. Buttoned at both sides, it has a turtle neck to keep you extra warm!

100% of pattern sales go to The Hilaroo Foundation
