St Jones Within

CA$12.00

The inner self unleashed. In an intricate and interlocking Fair Isle colour and lace patterning, St. Jones Within plays with the seeming simplicity of two different directions. It is top down and worked in the round with steeks. After reinforcing and cutting the steeks, stitches are picked up and the sides of the sweater are worked sideways to specified width, then the sleeves are worked down to cuffs. St. Jones Within is a similar framework, yet opposite in appearance to its older sister St. Jones Without
