Airgead Slipover

The Airgead slipover is an everyday piece perfect for layering over a shirt or top. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down and has an overall structure pattern created by purl stitches on a stockinette background. The deep armholes and classic fit make it a comfortable and wearable piece, and the rustic wool from The Birlinn Yarn Company is light and warm and will hold its shape very well. The slipover has a split hem and is slightly longer in the back than front.
