Costanza is a cabled pullover with vintage sitcom charm, as it nods to the sweater worn by a beloved character. Costanza features crisp braided cables, columns of seed stitch, and a preppy V-neck with sporty striped trim. Knit in a trendy butter yellow shade of Deluxe Worsted Superwash, this pullover is playful yet polished. Wear it layered for a classic look, or solo for something with a touch of modernity.
