Cambys by Orlane Sucche

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Like snow falling among a stand of sturdy pines, feather-light textured stitches set off central panels of bold cables in Cambys. Seamless top-down raglan construction, broad bands of ribbing, and an easy cropped fit in lofty woolen-spun Shelter or Tones make Cambys a go-to topper to add lightweight warmth and effortless style to all your outfits this season.
