Bock - a cozy, squishy raglan pattern with cable accents
Bock, released as part of the Hudson and Spring 2022 collection, is the quintessential all-season pullover made for everyone. This classic sweater with a modern fit is perfect for layering, cuffing, and styling with gauzy scarves.
The Bock pullover sports two front pockets with traditional Celtic knot cables, while the body and sleeves are covered in soothing broken rib stitch, resulting in an easy-to-wear garment. The seamed raglan construction provides stability for an heirloom design that will last forever. Bock is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. The pocket linings are knit separately and incorporated into the front.
Knit in Hudson & West Co. Forge with crisp stitch definition.
