• Product description

  Svenson’s handsomely contemporary riff on traditional cabled Aran motifs is revisited for a more petite silhouette. Call it a compelling exercise in the study of textures — irresistible honeycomb panels proudly flanked by horseshoe cables, fields of moss stitch, and half-twisted ribbing to treat the edges — scaled down to shorter, closer-fitting proportions aided by clever compound raglan and saddle shoulder shaping. Complete the picture with long-wearing, mid-weight Arbor for a timeless piece to see you through countless adventures.

  This garment is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up, then sewn together. The neckband is picked up and worked in the round after garment assembly. The cabled motifs are worked from charts only.

  Knit our Shaped version shown here to comfortably fit smaller frames, or the Classic version for a traditional tailored fit.
