The Shoreline Sweater features saddle shoulders that are shaped using short rows for a comfortable yet structured fit. The sweater has a subtle all-over cable motif that adds texture without compromising drape. Both the saddle shoulders and gentle cables bring a timeless style with a polished result.

The Shoreline Sweater has 10-12” [25-30 cm] of positive ease for sizes XXS-M and gradually less positive ease for sizes L-5XL.

This means that if you measure a 34” [86 cm] bust you will make size (S) with a finished bust circumference of 45¾” [114.5 cm]. Sample shown modeled is 5’ 2” [157 cm] tall wearing Size (S) with approx. 11¾“ [29.5 cm] positive ease.
