Drysdale's 8-row ridge is the perfect complement of textural stripes alternating in the minty SILK GARDEN SOLO Wakayama and the myriad of marine shades (from aqua to indigo) of Silk Garden Takayama. Similarly, the drop shoulders pair nicely with the ¾ sleeves which are picked up along the front and back and worked downwards to the cuffs. A 3-needle bind-off at the shoulders makes for a neat finish.
