Audrey is a classic sweater with an updated construction and a spectacular cable focal neckline. I just love when a happy mistake turns into a beautiful design! My initial thought was that the cable neck would lay flat… but I was so excited when I joined the cable together and put it over my head. I instantly thought of Audrey Hepburn and my brain redesigned the sweater into what you see here. Wear this sweater with jeans or over a dress, with large needles and Aran weight yarn, this wardrobe staple will practically knit itself! Audrey is the name of my niece and she is just as beautiful and classic as the famous one!
