GUILLOCHE PULLOVER {LITE}

This de{lite}fully simplified version of the original Guilloche Pullover is designed 
with finer yarns in mind, for enhanced drape and all-season versatility.



The boxy drop shoulder construction makes this version of the design an easy 
and meditative knit, requiring almost no shaping.

With a nod to traditional 
cables, the all-over guilloche motif creates a beautifully textured fabric with a 
clean, contemporary aesthetic.
