The cable knit design has become a staple piece in our winter wardrobes, and one that has a story of over a hundred years of weaving. Originally designed on the islands of Aran, the decorative pattern was created by the wives of fishermen to keep their husbands warm on freezing mornings out at sea, while also infusing a cultural decoration in the knit. Today, the cable knit is adopted by brands all over the world, including Polo Ralph Lauren with this cotton sweater.
