Cables are one of one the hottest textures this season and the decision to create them on only part of the garment is genius because it removes any bulk that an all over cable sweater can sometimes produce. The cables are worked on the bias, creating movement that is both flattering and extremely comfortable. They are surrounded by smooth stockinette stitch, making them the focus of the garment, without being an overwhelming element. The cables also create the shape. Even though the overall silhouette is relaxed, there is shaping in all the “right” places.

In style, yet timeless, the Criss-Cross Vest is a garment a woman of any age can wear this and feel great.
