Escale is a nautical-inspired sweater that features a sailor collar. Its clever construction gives it a flattering fit on the shoulders, without having to raise the
 stitches to knit the sleeves. Both refined and comfortable, this sweater will accompany you on all occasions.

 It is knitted from the top down, without seams. The presentation model is knitted with a DK weight yarn. You can also opt for a "fingering" weight yarn doubled with a lace weight mohair and silk yarn.
