Sumptuous cables intertwine in intricate patterns throughout the Dizen Sweater. The resultant fabric staves off the bitter cold of winter with its dense structure while still being lightweight—the perfect combination for a timeless coolweather sweater. It is worked from the bottom up in pieces and seamed; the sleeves are worked from the shoulder to the cuff.
