Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Winter 2009/10: “Fair Isle panels at the hemline and on both sides of the notched yoke give Moss’s cap-sleeved tunic - worked in Patons’ ‘Classic Wool’ - extra flair. The body, knit in two pieces and seamed, has a subtle A-line shape and features seek-stitch-filled cabling ona reverse-stockinette background.”

“Close-fitting, Fair-Isle and cabled tunic.”
