about irrigon

A sweater for all seasons that can be worn layered over a blouse or turtleneck or worn with a tank or camisole in warmer weather.

IRRIGON is a three-color sleeveless pullover that has the feel of a poncho but is worn more like a sweater. Front and Back are worked flat, then joined at the shoulders. Underarm seams are sewn, leaving a long vent. The upper body is worked in color A, while the vented lower body, with a high-low hem, uses different colors on the front and back. The sweater features an easy-to-memorize vertical lace pattern.
