Cartwright
Inspired by timeless tweed and intricate fair-isle fabrics, this knitting pattern features a stunning slip-stitch design on the upper sections and a classic fair-isle technique on the lower half. The shoulders are crafted using the English tailored method, allowing the seams to be set slightly back. This design ensures smooth shoulders and a beautifully draped fall at the back, creating a polished finish.
