The Pentney sweater by Quail Studio for Mode at Rowan is a timeless cable knit designed for everyday wear.
This classic design features structured cable detailing with a clean silhouette and offers the option of knitting either a crew neck or V-neck version. The sweater is worked from the top down, beginning flat through the shoulders before joining in the round for the body, creating a well-shaped and comfortable garment.
