Based on a sweater worn in 1965 by musician Steve Winwood, this was designed and made for a guy who’s really into 60s Mod fashion and music - the design is pretty straightforward, with two bands of cable on front and back. It could easily be adapted to a crew neck, by reducing the number of rows on the polo (turtle) neck collar.
