Pesto Sweater – Relaxed Knit with Polo Collar

The Pesto sweater is made for warmth without stiffness: generous, soft, quietly structured and easy to wear over almost anything. Its square body gives the knit a calm architectural shape, while the polo collar adds height at the neckline without feeling tight or formal.

The surface has a subtle horizontal knit character that gives the fabric depth and a reassuring winter weight. Seen from the side, the dropped shoulder and relaxed sleeve line create a gentle, cocooning silhouette, while the rolled edge finish keeps the outline soft rather than heavy.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend sweater has the natural softness, warmth and breathability you want from luxury knitwear. Pesto is the kind of relaxed fit sweater that feels simple at first glance, then becomes the piece you keep reaching for when comfort, warmth and understated style all matter.

Why This Sweater Feels Special

  • Generous square shape gives the sweater a calm, easy outline
  • Polo collar adds warmth at the neck without the bulk of a full roll neck
  • Horizontal knit texture brings subtle movement to the surface
  • 7 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives a substantial, cosy handle
  • Dropped shoulders soften the fit and make layering feel effortless
  • Rolled sleeve edges keep the finish relaxed and tactile
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend balances softness, warmth and resilience
  • A useful piece for anyone who wants a relaxed fit sweater with quiet structure

Pesto is shaped with width and softness rather than close tailoring. The square body falls away from the frame, giving the sweater room to move while still keeping a clean, balanced outline.

The polo collar is one of the most important details. It sits upright enough to frame the neck, but it has a soft knitted feel rather than a sharp or restrictive finish. This makes the design warmer than a crew neck and easier than a high roll neck.

The sleeves fall from a relaxed shoulder line and finish with rolled edges. Together with the softly rounded hem, these details give Pesto a lived-in elegance that works especially well over slim trousers, relaxed denim or simple layered basics.

Pesto is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, a natural-fibre blend chosen for warmth, softness and everyday wearability. Cashmere gives the sweater its smooth, gentle touch, while lambswool adds bounce, insulation and structure.

The 7 Gauge / 6 Ply knit gives this piece a more substantial feel than a fine lightweight layer. It has reassuring warmth and body, but the relaxed silhouette keeps it comfortable rather than stiff.

The horizontal knit texture is subtle, yet it makes the surface feel richer and more considered. This is a cashmere lambswool sweater for colder days, easy weekends, travel layering and relaxed luxury dressing.

A polo collar sweater gives a softer alternative to a classic roll neck. It frames the neckline, adds warmth and brings a more relaxed attitude to winter knitwear.

Pesto is especially useful because its shape is generous but not messy. The square cut gives it presence, the collar gives it polish, and the rolled edges stop the design from feeling too formal.

If you want a sweater that feels warm, simple and quietly different from a standard crew neck, Pesto offers that balance beautifully.

Pesto is for women who like their knitwear easy, warm and unfussy, but still thoughtfully designed. It suits relaxed wardrobes, simple silhouettes and outfits built around texture rather than decoration.

Wear it over a fine base layer on cold days, with narrow trousers for contrast, or over soft denim when you want an off-duty look with a little more depth.

Its one-size shape makes it comfortable for layering, while the collar and horizontal knit detail give it enough character to stand alone.

To keep your Pesto sweater soft, warm and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a specialist wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash inside out to protect the knitted surface
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Reshape the collar, body and rolled sleeve edges while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally, away from direct heat
  • Fold for storage rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder shape
  • Use a cashmere comb gently if natural pilling appears with wear

What makes Pesto a sweater rather than a standard jumper?

Pesto has the warmth and ease of a classic sweater, but the polo collar, square body and horizontal knit texture give it a more distinctive shape than a simple crew neck jumper.

Is Pesto a relaxed fit sweater?

Yes. Pesto is designed with a generous square shape and a one-size fit, giving it an easy drape through the body rather than a close or fitted outline.

How does the polo collar feel?

The collar gives gentle warmth around the neck without feeling as enclosed as a full roll neck. It is soft, knitted and relaxed, making it comfortable for everyday wear.

What is special about the horizontal knit?

The horizontal knit adds quiet texture across the surface, giving the sweater more depth while keeping the overall look simple and refined.

Is this a warm cashmere blend sweater?

Yes. The 7 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives Pesto a substantial feel, while the cashmere and lambswool blend provides natural warmth and softness.

Can Pesto be layered?

Yes. The square body gives room for a fine layer underneath, and the soft collar works well under coats without creating a stiff neckline.

What makes the rolled sleeve edge useful?

The rolled sleeve edge gives the knit a softer, more relaxed finish. It also keeps the design from looking too formal or structured.

Does the sweater have a close fit?

No. Pesto is intentionally generous through the body. It is designed to fall loosely and comfortably rather than sit close to the waist or bust.

How should I care for this cashmere lambswool sweater?

Hand wash cold or dry clean, use a wool or cashmere detergent, reshape while damp and dry flat. Store folded to protect the shoulders and collar.

What kind of wardrobe does Pesto suit?

Pesto suits relaxed luxury dressing: simple trousers, denim, soft layering pieces and cold-weather outfits where warmth and texture matter.

Why This Oversized Jumper Has Such Easy Presence

  • Square-cut body gives Rider a modern oversized outline
  • High ribbed neckline brings warmth without adding buttons or fastenings
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem add quiet definition to the soft volume
  • 7 Gauge / 6 Ply knit gives the jumper a substantial, winter-ready hand feel
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend keeps the finish soft, breathable and naturally warm

Rider has a wide, architectural ease that sets it apart from a standard relaxed jumper. The shoulder seam sits low, letting the fabric fall in a broad line from neck to sleeve. The body is not shaped closely at the waist; instead, it hangs with soft volume and finishes with ribbing that keeps the silhouette neat.

The high ribbed neck is one of Rider’s strongest details. It frames the face, adds warmth and gives the jumper a polished vertical line. The sleeves continue from the dropped shoulder into ribbed cuffs, making this high neck oversized jumper feel practical as well as quietly dramatic.

Rider is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere softens the touch against the skin, while lambswool gives the yarn body, warmth and natural resilience. As a 7 Gauge / 6 Ply cashmere lambswool jumper, it has a richer handle than a fine lightweight knit and is made for cooler days.

The surface has a smooth, clean appearance, allowing the shape and ribbed details to do the work. It feels comforting without looking heavy, making it an easy piece to wear over shirts, long-sleeve tops or simple base layers.

A cashmere oversized jumper works best when the shape feels intentional. Rider offers width, warmth and movement, but the high ribbed neck and ribbed hem keep the look considered rather than shapeless. It is the kind of knitwear that can make a simple outfit look more styled with very little effort.

The 7 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives it enough weight to feel reassuring, while the cashmere blend keeps the finish soft. Rider is a strong choice for anyone looking for a relaxed luxury knitwear piece that feels cosy, modern and easy to return to season after season.

Rider is for women who prefer generous knitwear with clean lines. It suits relaxed weekends, travel days, studio work, layered winter outfits and everyday dressing where comfort still needs to look refined.

The one-size fit and 77cm chest give the jumper its easy drape. Wear it loose over slim trousers, layer it with wide-leg shapes, or use it as a soft high neck jumper when you want warmth around the neckline without a coat-heavy look.

To look after your Rider oversized jumper and keep the cashmere lambswool yarn soft and settled, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or use a specialist wool cycle only if your machine is suitable
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not bleach, tumble dry or wring the garment
  • Reshape carefully while damp and dry flat away from direct heat
  • Fold for storage rather than hanging, as the oversized shape can stretch on a hanger
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if small pills appear with wear

What makes Rider an oversized jumper?

Rider has a square-cut body, dropped shoulder line and a generous one-size fit. The chest measures 77cm, giving it the easy volume expected from an oversized jumper.

Is Rider a high neck jumper?

Yes. Rider has a high ribbed neck that gives warmth and structure while keeping the overall shape clean and minimal.

How heavy does the knit feel?

Rider is a 7 Gauge / 6 Ply knit, so it has more substance than a very fine jumper. The cashmere and lambswool blend keeps it soft while giving it a warm, reassuring feel.

Does the ribbed hem make the jumper fitted?

No. The ribbed hem adds gentle shape at the lower edge, but the body remains roomy and relaxed.

How should I style this cashmere oversized jumper?

Rider works well with narrow trousers, wide-leg trousers or layered over a simple long-sleeve base. Its high neck and clean body make it easy to style without needing extra detail.
