This richly cabled sweater has a drop-shoulder design with a naturally rounded shoulder line. The difference in length between the front and back body, and the diagonal lines at both sides of the front, add to its elegance. The familiar cables established in the early rows of the body have a unique pattern variation, making it an engaging knit.
