A study in texture and structure, Briar Glen Top features evolving slip-stitch cable patterns across a clean, tailored silhouette. The body is worked in one piece to the underarm, with front and back completed separately and joined at the shoulders.

Sleeves are picked up and worked top-down with short-row imitation of set-in caps.
