Isham Road
Isham Road
Isham Road is the pattern from my first Ultimate Sweater Box. It's an exceptionally simple and current silhouette: an oversized drop-shoulder tee. In the box, I paired it with absolutely the most perfect yarn for this kind of garment, Crave Yarns Caravan: A luscious, luminous blend of merino, cashmere, camel, and silk. Combined, Isham Road and Caravan make for a fluid, gorgeous piece that looks great in a wide range of fits and on a wide range of bodies.
Sizing
The body circumference before sleeve increases start is 40 (42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70)’’ / 101.5 (106.5, 112, 117, 122, 127, 132, 137, 147.5, 157.5, 167.5, 178) cm.
This tee is intended to be worn with generous sizing - but exactly how much is up to you (with my guidance if you want it, of course!) It's shown in these pictures in sizes that range from 6 - 18'' (12.5 - 46 cm) larger than the wearers' upper torsos, with around 8'' (20.5 cm) being about average.
