Aislinn is a lovely blend of interest to the knitter, unique details, and wardrobe-friendly styling. It's got a 3-season-friendly silhouette and fun stitch patterning, all while being easy to modify. The unusual front closures are a tailored touch, and the fairly flat neckline shaping ensures the plackets may be worn closed or (if you prefer) encouraged to fall open into a wider V.
The Plucky Knitter’s Plucky Sweater is a wonderful everyday sweater yarn, with Sarah’s incomparable eye for color. It is the perfect foil to these simple stitch patterns. Should you desire to substitute yarn, please choose something without excessive drape (lest the collar get too droopy) that shows the stitch pattern well.
