A Trusty Friend loves to come along whatever the occasion; has your back (side) covered, doesn’t try to steal the show, lets you be the star, adores cool weather, likes walks in the woods as well as a city street scene, gives you warmth and comfort, and makes you happy. Take a Trusty Friend with you wherever you go.

This is an easy, drop-shoulder, high/low-hem sweater with the perfect amount of positive ease. A simple twisted stitch panel embellishes the center of the front and back. The hem and cuffs feature twisted rib patterning to offer a polished look with just the right amount of stretch.
