This fabulous and warm sweater will make you stand out among your friends. It has big windowpane checks, filled in just where you need to look a little slimmer or where you might lean on a table and not want it to smudge! The big checks make it really fashionable and graphic. It has clever details like a provisional CO for a smooth edge, contiguous shoulder shaping, invisible neck bands, ‘curved’ sleeves for a quirky fashion twist and still remains comfortable and easy to wear.
