Settle Tank
Design BF012 · Bramble & Fleece Autumn/Winter Collection
A beautiful cabled slipover, worked in Bramble & Fleece Sheepsoft 4 Ply. A great piece to layer up or wear alone. V-neck shaping and set-in style armholes make this slipover a true classic design.
Settle shares its cable pattern and fine 36-stitch gauge with the Malham Sweater, so the two are natural companions if you want a matching set — and the slipover is the quicker of the pair to finish. Set-in style armholes give it a tailored line that sits well over a shirt.
