The Heacham sweater by Quail Studio for Mode at Rowan is a relaxed V-neck knit designed for modern everyday wear.

With its easy oversized fit and clean lines, this garment drapes naturally across the body while maintaining a refined, minimal look. The sweater is constructed from the shoulders down, worked flat to the armholes before joining in the round through the body. Sleeves are picked up and worked down, creating a seamless and polished finish.

This pattern can be knitted using Mode at Rowan Alpaca Cotton or Mode at Rowan Alpaca Wool, allowing you to tailor the final weight and feel of the garment.
