P|H - Nordic Mohair Knit Sweater Diane

A truly cozy sweater usually means giving up on looking elegant — and it really shouldn't!

Just imagine a soft, fuzzy Nordic knit that feels like a blanket and still looks like something you chose on purpose. Now stop imagining, because the Diane manages both at once.

• A Classic Nordic Pattern
  Zigzag bands and soft peaks run across the chest and around the cuffs and hem in cream and contrasting shades. It is the pattern that has looked right for fifty years and will look right for fifty more.
• A Fluffy, Brushed Yarn
  The knit has a light, airy halo that makes it feel considerably warmer than its weight suggests. It is the kind of surface you find yourself touching while you are wearing it.
• Relaxed Through The Shoulder
  The body is roomy and the sleeves are full, so it goes on over a shirt without pulling anywhere. It sits at the hip, which works over jeans as easily as over slim trousers.
• A Gentler Alternative To Bulk
  Because the warmth comes from the loft of the yarn rather than a heavy chunky stitch, it keeps you warm without adding width across the arms and chest.
• Four Shades, Very Different Moods
  Charcoal and Gray for quiet days, Blue for something softer, and Wine when you want a little richness against the cream pattern.

The trade-off between warm and elegant is one most sweaters ask you to make. This one doesn't — which is why it stops being the emergency sweater and becomes the one you plan outfits around from October onward.
