1940’s inspired slimfit crewneck aran st sweater, with pretty puff shoulder detail.

“Inspired by the feminine sweaters of the 1940’s the body is small and fitted, with a central interweaving cable on the front and back. The sleeve is worked in a simple stocking st with gentle gathers at the shoulder forming the iconic sleeve of this era.” - Jo Storie
