Saven by Hudson and West co-founder Meghan Babin is an updated twist on the classic New England-style cabled Fisherman’s pullover. Drawing inspiration from the silver screen, this unisex design is based on the moth-eaten cabled sweater worn by Ransom Drysdale in the filmKnives Out. Meghan kept one of the flanking cables from the original, but explored similar-but-different cables andfit-focused shoulder shaping to create not a replica, but a sibling to the original inspiration.
The construction of this pullover is based onASTM for Menwith modification notes provided for a more petite fit (as shown inVersion 2). Classic menswear waist shaping instructions are provided (as shown inVersion 1), as well as full instructions for no waist shaping. The shoulder shaping for this pullover is a combination of raglan and saddle shoulder shaping, resulting in a beautifully tailored and comfortable fit.
Saven is worked from the bottom up in pieces, blocked, and seamed in finishing. Optional directions for tubular cast ons provided. The foldover crew neckband is picked up and worked in the round, and then folded over and stitches are picked up from the inner neckline and bound off together for a tidy folded neckband.
Designed for Hudson + West Co's Forge.

Forge and its little sibling Weld are our first 100% US-made yarns - and we're the first European stockists of Hudson + West, the fabulous company who makes them! A heathered blend of 70% Merino and 30% Corriedale, Forge is spun up to a worsted weight. It's a round, extremely well-balanced 3ply yarn that works so, so well for cables and texture. It has a beautiful balance of stitch definition, bounce, and wooly, cohesive bloom after blocking. One of our new favorites!
