• Product description

  Fizzy columns of slip-stitch cables rise from Alcione’s front hem, dancing over tonal contrasting stripes that travel to the stockinette back. Choose two coordinating shades of springy, woolen-spun Tones, then customize the boxy unisex fit with slim or classic sleeves and a ribbed crew or mock neck collar. Knit in the round, the only seaming required is at the thoughtfully shaped shoulders — how refreshing!
