The Parfaitsweater is knitted seamlessly top down and worn oversized. The combination of different cable patterns in the front and back with thoughtfully placed stripes makes it an absolute feel-good sweater that can be worn in a variety of ways. The cable patterns and stripes can also be found in the sleeves. The sweater also has a high turtleneck, making it the ideal companion to snuggle up on cold winter days.
