Named for the Greek goddess of snow, Khione features graceful waist shaping and a square neckline to flatter any figure. The stitch pattern is simple but elegant, and an applied I-cord bind-off gives the collar and hems a crisply finished edge.

This sweater is designed to be worn with 0-2” of negative ease. Size 34” shown modeled with 1” of negative ease.
