Leopold is the classic après-ski sweater reinvented with a modern construction. This unisex model has a loose and comfortable fit with a dropped armhole. It is entirely knitted in a simple broken rib stitch.

You can choose between the sweater version with a few buttons at the top and the cardigan version. In both cases, the button placket is knitted at the same time as the body. The presentation model is knitted with a DK weight yarn.
