Dérive is your favorite chunky cabled sweater reimagined. Keiko’s modern design features an organic, asymmetrical cable pattern, a relaxed, dropped shoulder silhouette, a split hem, and a generous turtleneck. Worked in Chickadee Organic Heathers and Owlet held together throughout to create a warm, subtly-marled fabric that seems to glow from within and is irresistible to the touch.

Once shoulders are joined, sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round. The collar is picked up and worked in the round in 2x2 ribbing. Both yarns are held together throughout.
