………………………………. Móinéar {muy-near} Irish: meadow 
 A marriage of rhythm and whimsy, Móinéar combines vertical stripes with stylised 
blossoms to evoke a wander through the meadows on a rainy day. 

 Worked top-down with circular yoke construction, the traditional colourwork pattern 
creates a bold folkloric aesthetic evocative of rural ceremonial dress in parts of Eastern 
and Northern Europe. To maximise this effect, choose classic colours and complete 
the look with the optional headpiece, instructions for which are provided. Or opt for more contemporary styling by choosing an unexpected colour pallet and pairing the pullover with a pair of old jeans.
