The standout Kanik cable is featured prominently at the center front and back of this straight pullover, creating a captivating focal point. Flanking the central cable are beautifully crafted staghorn cables on each side, offering a rich texture that complements the overall look. The background of the sides is filled with a delightful Moss stitch, allowing the intricate cables to take center stage and shine brilliantly. A well-designed saddle shoulder enables the staghorn sleeve cable to flow seamlessly all the way to the neckline, enhancing both comfort and style.
