Inspired by the textures of ancient bark, this cardigan features high-relief cables hewn on a background of grained pattern.
It closes with toggle buttons and has a large ribbed collar to chase the autumn chill away. A single cable adorns the sleeve, which is continued as a saddle across the shoulder and back neck. The back of the cardigan has a triple panel of the same cable motif. The ribbed edging is continued up the fronts and into the collar.
