ZAHAVI

Elegance and intrigue personified, Zahavi delivers on silhouette and shape like none other. Radiating spokes of individual purl stitches cut dynamic angles across the body of this boxy pullover, evoking plicate leaves in full grandeur. Featuring deep side vents and two ribbed collar options (either the sumptuous cowl neck depicted here or a simple narrow band), elementary stitches are elevated to bold effect. The fully ribbed sleeves may be omitted in favor of a dropped-shoulder tee with short ribbed cuffs. Modernize a minimalist wardrobe with this innovative pullover.
