DESIGNER PAT Menchini loves to work with cable patterns, and for this men's design she has combined thick rope cables and diamonds infilled with moss stitch. It's a drop-shoulder design, with a cosy ribbed shawl collar. Pat has used Rico's Essentials Mega Wool Chunky, which is a strong, smooth wool blend that can be machine-washed on a cool setting. It provides excellent stitch definition for cables and textured patterns, and comes in a wide choice of neutrals and brighter shades.
