Dunstan

Product description

A modern take on the traditional drop-shoulder fisherman’s rib pullover, a boxy, cropped fit, graceful scooped neckline, and slim tapered sleeves make Dunstan a cozy catch indeed. Worked in tuck stitch, a relative of brioche, woolen-spun Shelter or Tones knit up into a luxuriously plush fabric with plenty of warmth. Pop it over snowy-crisp cotton shirts or well-worn flannels for holiday parties and weekend excursions alike.
