Lattice cables with clever vertical columns at the crossings flow from reverse stockinette edges to imitate a wrought-iron look. The deliciously decadent fibers of HiKoo® Simplinatural make for sharp cables and stitches and create a springy and supple fabric you’ll want to wear it around your neck from the moment it gets chilly until the spring thaw.
