Doineann is a relaxed cable pullover with an engaging construction. Doineann is named for an old Irish word for “storm”, providing a cozy barrier between you and the elements, Doineann can transition easily from comfy lounge wear for the home, to warm base layer for your weekend hike, to fascinating day wear. Doineann is worked cuff to cuff to create a horizontal cable pattern that runs across the chest. Sleeves are then seamed before the stitches for the body are picked up, with gentle waist shaping and a hi-lo hem.
