Swift by Sloane Rosenthal is made for year round comfort and near constant wear. This fuzzy and feminine cabled pullover is covered in simple but captivating cables that bloom in Weld x Spark held together. This classic modified drop shoulder pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces and seamed after blocking the front and back; the sleeves are picked up after the shoulders are joined and worked from the top down for easy finishing. Finally, the neckband is picked up and worked in the round, folded over and seamed for a stable and cozy collar.
