JACINTA BOWIE Lilita
WITH A nod to classic English cricket sweaters, but with a totally feminine style, this jumper from Jacinta Bowie is knitted in Cascade’s soft Noble Cotton yarn. The deep lower hem and cuffs feature an intricate lace and cable stitch pattern, which incorporates stripes of colour; above this is the main cabled fabric, separated by a band of stranded colourwork triangles and moss stitch.
