Inspired by architecture ruins reclaimed by nature, the Zona sweater is created with a series of knits and purls designed into intricate zig-zags, and anchored in the front with faux cables.

An ideal transitional piece, the sweater is knit with heavy worsted weight yarn, features 3/4 sleeves, and is knit from the bottom up. There’s minimal shaping throughout, but the ribbing effect helps pull in and create a waistline.

The sweater hits at the top of the hips, ideal for many high waisted skirts and layered over dresses.
