Sometimes it is the top trend, as it is this season; sometimes simply a handsome classic that signals traditional craft from across the room — worked beautifully on our merino-cashmere blend. If you like color and a little more daring, take the Toffee version; if you love the classic and uncomplicated, the favorite in Flannel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is worked in intarsia — every block of color on its own yarn, with no floats on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus 95% merino wool, 5% cashmere, brushed.
