A fine cable knit sweater worked in a soft mint green, with the twist repeating in narrow rows across the whole body and down both sleeves. The scale of the cable is small enough to read as texture rather than pattern, which is why it sits happily under a coat and still looks like something on its own when the coat comes off. The knit carries some weight, so it hangs rather than clings.

A ribbed crew neck with matching ribbing at the cuffs and hem finishes every edge and helps the knit hold its shape. The body is cut close to regular with a little ease through the waist, so it tucks at the front over jeans or trousers without bunching, and the sleeves finish at the wrist. In the lighter colors it reads soft rather than heavy, which makes it easy to wear past the coldest weeks.
