• With soft, floaty sleeves and unusual draping neckline, With The New Cowl Neck-Line is the perfect garment for easy summer style with wide-legged linen trousers or for dressing up at any time of year to wear on an evening out. With The New Cowl Neck-Line has a shaped lower body followed by an unusually shaped front neck created with yarn-overs at the centre front of the garment. Saddle shoulders add further interest before fluted sleeves are knitted downwards from the body. A deep waistband designed to sit on the waist finishes the look - this extends to one side and is tied in a bow.

  With The New Cowl Neck-Line is knitted using Susan Crawford Marilyn, a merino-silk laceweight blend with a subtle sheen and beautiful drape, hand-dyed in-house by Susan and her team. Shown here in shade Casablanca.

  Our model Theodora is shown wearing the second size.

  The pattern includes instructions for four sizes to fit chest measurements between 76cm (30in) and 112cm (44in) and contains clear written instructions plus a schematic diagram and sizing chart.
