Galba by Mel Kennelly

Galba offers a subtle yet striking design with a simple, off-center cable running from front to back. Worked in one piece until the armholes, the body is then split for front and back, with sleeves picked up and worked down in the round. A relaxed fit makes Galba an easy choice for layering, and its classic silhouette pairs effortlessly with looks for weekends or work days.
