A deceptively simple raglan, with an argyle-mimicking cable stitch pattern on the front and back, and a high-low split hem. Boxy shaping is paired with a shorter body length, keeping the wearer warm without adding too much bulk. Find two types of ribbing in the sweater hem, enabling the stitch patterns to naturally flow from the trim to the sweater body. The model is a 35” bust, wearing the 37½“ / 95.5 cm size, with 2.5 cm of positive ease. This piece can be worn comfortably with 2-10” / 5-25.5 cm of positive ease.
