Toteme — Cable Cardigan
Cable Cardigan in Grey Melange
Traditional cable knitwear often suffers from excess bulk. Toteme re-engineers the classic cable by flattening the pattern and knitting it in a soft, heathered grey melange blend that drapes with relaxed ease. The deep V-neck and elongated sleeves create modern proportions, making it a versatile layering piece across all four seasons.
A relaxed V-neck cardigan knitted in a textured wool-cashmere cable pattern with tonal button closure and deep ribbed trims. Knitwear resolved.
