Balance Sweater Scarf

Description

One piece, endless ways to wear it. The Balance Sweater Scarf features a striking cable texture of criss-crossing long and short lines that give it a depth and character all its own. Wear it wrapped around your neck as a scarf, or slip your arms through the sleeves with the cross sitting at the back or the front — dressed down with jeans or draped over something elegant, it effortlessly holds its own.
