Luscious cables paired with moss stitch create the ideal fisherman’s-style pullover. Whitney Hayward pays homage to the classic sweater with lovely little details: honeycomb and braid cable panels on the body’s front and back, braided panels from cuff to top of the set-in sleeves, and a cozy, turned-in ribbed collar for warmth and elasticity at the neckline. Worked flat in pieces, Marsellus’s silhouette is kept simple, with no shaping in the body.
