Scarborough

*Scarborough* is a relaxed turtleneck sweater designed for effortless everyday wear. Knitted seamlessly from the top down with a classic raglan construction, the sweater has an easy, comfortable fit. Despite its cosy look, Scarborough is surprisingly light. The airy, drapey fabric is created by working at a loose gauge, using one strand of Laine x Novita 4ply held together with two differently coloured strands of silk mohair, resulting in a soft marled effect. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) Recommended ease: Approx. 8" / 20 cm of positive ease.
