Even amid a landscape of snug winter knitwear, there is something about cable-knit that stands out as extra cosy; it speaks at once of items that our grannies might have made for us, yet striking a distinctly glamourous Alpine après ski note all the while. And, even better, when donning a good chunky cable knit, it feels almost imperative to seek out a pew by the fireside and to drink something mulled, ideally contained within an enamel mug.

From the homely to the fashion-forward, these are the cable-knits we’ll be throwing on for our mountainside adventures (read: après in Alpine lodges) – whether real or imagined.
