Feminine, stylish, flattering – just a few words that describe “Grecian Elegance”. Cable and eyelet details add elegance to this simple design.

Working the yoke & sleeves sideways (cuff to cuff) provides visual interest, while the 100% sugar cane viscose yarn adds softness and beautiful drape.

Keep cool all summer in this beautiful sweater.
