This one arrives named as a turtleneck and it is not. The collar is cut open and folded back into a soft shawl V, closer to a shirt collar than to anything that closes at the throat - which is a better piece of design than the name it was given.
The body is cut generously, shoulders dropping well past the joint, with the sleeves following in the same easy line and gathering into deep ribbed cuffs. A slit at each side of the ribbed hem stops the volume from reading like a sack, and the cashmere carries a fine textured stitch rather than a flat surface.
It is the sweater for the part of the day that has no plan attached to it, and it looks considered anyway.
