If you’re looking for a cabled sweater for autumn that will look as good with a smart skirt as with jeans, take a look at Sarah Hatton’s sophisticated design. The neat arrangement of cables and twisted stitches produces a lovely fabric; a scooped neckline adds to the feminine look. The sweater is knitted in Rowan’s Softyak DK, which has a lovely softness and handle thanks to the blend of cotton, yak fibre and nylon. It’s machine-washable and available in 14 glowing shades.
