Luxury fibers and a relaxed silhouette combine to make this your new favorite sweater. A simple broken fisherman’s rib stitch creates the texture; a split hem in two lengths and plenty of positive ease create the modern, easygoing shape.

Holding a strand each of laceweight mohair and fingering weight alpaca together makes for an airy, lightweight fabric that traps a lot of air to keep you warm on the chilliest of winter days.
