The Global Shift Sweater brings contemporary construction to timeless design, featuring offset globe cables from a vintage Swedish cable pattern running down the center back. Part of the Global Shift Collection, this sweater showcases the signature cable work that defines the series. This comfortable pullover is worked from the top down with picked-up sleeves, making it easy to try on and adjust as you knit. The remaining fabric showcases a subtly striped pattern with wide textured stockinette sections, creating stockinette-like drape with added textural detail, while the deeper V-neck and relaxed fit ensure effortless wearability.
