This handsome sweater for men features a classic cable pattern and a shawl collar
PAT MENCHINI
Moffat

DESIGNER PAT Menchini loves to work with cable patterns, and for this men's design she has combined thick rope cables and diamonds infilled with moss stitch. It's a drop-shoulder design, with a cosy ribbed shawl collar. Pat has used Rico's Essentials Mega Wool Chunky, which is a strong, smooth wool blend that can be machine-washed on a cool setting. It provides excellent stitch definition for cables and textured patterns, and comes in a wide choice of neutrals and brighter shades.
