Eurus is our modern interpretation of a classic Aran sweater. With an oversized silhouette and traditional cables, it is sure to be a timeless wardrobe favourite. It is constructed from sleeve to sleeve and the sides are seamed together at the end. To finish, stitches are picked up for the neck band and ribbing along the bottom edge.
