Oversized, staggered brick pattern cardigan with drop shoulders, set-in pockets, hood, and contrasting ribbed edges. By Missoni.

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 1994:
“Missoni delivers maximum color-per-stitch, using variegated bouclés in a slip-stitch brick pattern.”

Notes: slip-stitch pattern must be worked back and forth on circular needle or long double-pointed needles. Do not cut yarns at end of rows; carry yarns not in use loosely along side.
