A modern, subtly graphic take on a classic shawl-collared cardigan. Knit flat in pieces and seamed, this cardigan features an allover ribbed fabric with an overlay of crisp diagonal cables. The fronts have roomy inset pockets, while the back provides a bigger canvas for the architectural cable pattern to shine. The deep shawl collar is shaped with short rows.
