Wrap yourself in cozy, rustic elegance. Ebbetts’ top down construction and modern drop shoulder design provide an easy fit, while the back shaping and a split hem bring elements of classic tailoring. Soft textures, achieved through a trio of simple stitch patterns, keep the knitter engaged. A lateral braid across the back shoulders provides structure and a crisp detail, and a generous seeded rib collar adds a bit of extra warmth, making this a perfect layer for the transitioning seasons.
