The Katharine Knitwear Collection is inspired by the iconic style of Katharine Hepburn. She was a pioneer for pants for women, and miles away from most other style icons at the time. This white shirts is perhaps the most characteristic for her style.

Worked top down with one strand in each quality held together. Unusual construction where you work the collar first and then adds stitches with Turkish cast on in each side. Each side is shaped with short rows. The sleeves are raglan increased. The finish of the body is shaped into a U-shape that is usual for shirts.
