Ouse Bridge

This cropped sweater can be paired with your favourite empire line dress or something more fitted to create a waist in your silhouette. Ouse Bridge features flattering cable details that grow from a stretchy hem and travel up, across the torso and then again, down the arms. This garment is worked in pieces from the bottom up before seaming. Both neck and shoulder shaping are created within the garment using shorts rows for a more figure hugging and flattering shape. An attention grabbing layer that would suit a bright colourway as much as something more understated and neutral. This sweater has been designed to be worn with 0-7 cm (0-3 in) positive ease at bust.
