About this piece
The open stitch lets the air through, so the sweater feels light even in the sun, and the black yarn makes the tricolour stripe across the chest and arms stand out. The crew neck keeps it clean. The shorts are cut wide and long, falling below the knee, with a narrow band of green, gold and red at each hem.
This is the set for the man who wants to dress up without a suit: Timkat, a birthday dinner, the evening after a wedding. Layer it over a plain black vest or tee, and let the stripes do the talking.
Material
Soft acrylic yarn
Care
Hand wash in cold water with a mild soap. Press the water out gently, never wring. Dry flat in the shade and reshape while damp. Do not hang, tumble dry or iron. The open stitch can catch on rings and zips, so wash it on its own.
