John Lewis & Partners Cashmere Rib Knit V-Neck Tunic, Pale Blue, 18

We've used a gorgeous half cardigan stitch on our rib knit sweater, giving it a rich, soft handle that effortlessly holds its shape, helping to keep this luxury piece feeling and looking as good as day one. The rib deflections around the neckline and centre front and back add subtle, intricate detail, while the hem and cuff are knitted in the same stitch for a clean finish.

Because 100% cashmere means just that, this foundation piece is knitted using a yarn spun uniquely for us. Longer in length, it combines simple modernity with a relaxed fit.

Good to know: we've added in spare cashmere yarn in case it needs mending and so you have something to match if you're shopping for accessories.
