Description from Knitty.com:

A dynamic sweater knitted in simple K2, P2 rib, slightly flared for an easy and flattering fit.


Snug-fitting sleeves and high armholes sit perfectly under jackets or coats.


The neck can be worn rolled down or as a marvelous hood designed to beat anything winter can throw at you.


The first "giraffe" was knitted in a freezing Paris winter. The alternative was to run home to an Australian summer!
