In the Loop is the third pattern in our Designer in Residence series! In The Loop is a longer-line fitted top with cap sleeves. Both the back and front feature an intricate cable pattern that incorporates textured stitches within the loops. The neckline has a unique I-cord feature, which gives the appearance of the cable pattern spilling out of the fabric and looping around on itself. The cap sleeves have simple rope cables.
