The Athene Sweater is a timeless and detail-rich design featuring a distinctive pattern that reappears in the raglan increases, the edges of the sleeves and body, and in the elegant slits – both at the center back and at the cuffs. The sweater can be adjusted to your preferred fit – the pattern includes both a short version (e.g., the navy Athene Sweater) and a long version (e.g., the marzipan Athene Sweater).
