Sometimes, when it’s warm inside a car during chilly winters, magical ice crystals lace their way down the outside of the windows. This lush, cashmere top expresses that beauty with a subtle and unique ice crystal pattern on the yoke. Worked top-down in the round, and featuring a high foldable neck, this sweater evokes the best of vintage Nordic cool, while keeping you cosy and toasty on the inside. Stay warm!
