Lysistrata's Chiton
Little more than a rectangle of cloth drawn up at the shoulders and pinned, the chiton was for centuries the garment favored by the ancient Greeks. No less beautiful for its simplicity, Lysistrata’s Chiton is, likewise, based on the functional rectangle, with the addition of raglan sleeves, both shapely and flattering. Knit sideways to maximize drape of the knitted fabric the cardigan features a wide organic cable flanking both fronts and hugging the neck, while softly draping folds of fabric fall, chiton–like, from the shoulders.
