Irish Coffee

$8.00

Irish Coffee is a tunic, knit in a gorgeous tweed. The details themselves are simple and flattering, but unusual enough that the sweater garners attention wherever I wear it! A long line of cables brings the eye to the center of the waist, while short sleeves and ribbing at the top balance out the long length. Knit seamlessly from the top down in one piece. Cable is both charted and written. Notes are in pattern on how to modify in a number of ways.
