A close fitting funnel-neck sleeveless shell that is perfect for layering - especially with the Marigny Sweater. Reversible, with cabling in front and back and almost no finishing. Worked in the round to the armholes and at the neck. Shown in size small, in Tenino from Brooks Farm Yarn. Works well in any worsted weight yarn.

Ribbing makes the fit, so no shaping required!

Regular sizes have close fit, plus sizes have moderate fit. Looser fit can be created by stretching ribbing during blocking.
