A sweater featuring an open cable and ribbed, double weight neck and cuffs designed to fold in an interesting way.

It can be worn with the cable at the front or at the back as shown in the first and second photo.

Raglan shoulder shaping ensures a neat fit.

It is available in two lengths.

In both models the ribbed hem sits flat at the front and waist, and is shorter at the back.

The cropped version is designed to kick out at the back while the longer version tends to hug the body.
