THIS SWEATER has beautiful textured panels on the centre front and back, with a stitch pattern inspired by twisted vines. The back also features two pleats, bringing an interesting structure and silhouette to the garment. The pattern panels form a stepped hem, while split side seams and a cowl neck add extra interest. Chloé Elizabeth Birch’s design uses a Shetland DK wool from West Yorkshire Spinners called The Croft.
