A Fair Isle turtleneck knit in high-contrast black and white — no pastels, no muted earth tones, just the pattern stripped to its bones. Delia McKain, Made in USA, which puts this in the camp of small-run domestic knitwear from the nineties when that still meant something. The birdseye body gives way to geometric border bands at the chest, hem, and sleeves. Oversized through the body on a tagged S, long enough to work half-tucked or layered under a coat.
